"All Souls is a stone building dating from 1896 with nave and bell tower. Set amid lots of greenery and partly covered in ivy, it looks very pretty from the street. There is a short winding path leading from the street to the entrance, which is below a wooden porch. Inside there is a warm cosy feel provided by the abundance of woodwork: wooden floors and dark wooden pews and ceiling panels. There is soft lighting and the lights in the altar area are red. There are plenty of windows in wrought-iron frames but no stained glass. Overall, a very nice ambience indeed.
The church is a non-creedal church, which means they allow people to make up their own mind on the interpretation of scripture and the nature of God. They claim that since they first opened their doors, they have always been inclusive and welcome "all sorts" in their church.
The neighbourhood of Elmwood Avenue is a broad tree-lined thoroughfare situated in the heart of the university area of Belfast. The city hospital is right across the road, and the student union building is at the other end of the street. It is a bustling, cosmopolitan area of town, with lots of trendy cafes and bars in every direction."
