A swingers club in Nashville has found the lord.

Last Autumn The Social Club, which is dedicated to "the enjoyment of both men and women ... to engage in any sexual activity" sold its building and bought a new one in a run down office park AP reports.

The new location is behind the Goodpasture Christian School.

After parents and religious leaders packed the Metro Nashville Council chambers to bring about a zoning change in order to close the club.

The club however has found a solution - it is now a church. What was once the dance floor is now a sanctuary, the dungeons are now the choir and "handbells" - and its 49 small private rooms are now dedicated to prayer.

"The ball is in Metro's court ... We've now gotten a permit to meet as a church, and a church is something that cannot be defined under the U.S. Constitution," their attorney Larry Roberts said.
