[OSM-newbies] Grounds surrounding churches etc.

[Tom Taylor]

I opened the Discussion tab of the amenity=place_of_worship Wiki article 
and saw that this was a current topic of discussion last April.

The Map Features page actually has this to say for building=church:

"A building that was built as a church. Used in conjunction with 
amenity=place_of_worship, religion=* and denomination=* for the church 
grounds where it is in current use."

That seems to imply that the building is just building=church and the 
grounds constitute the amenity.
