Elias,
You make a fair point but suppose the photographer is on holiday in
a strange city. There would be little or no opportunity to obtain
permission to photograph the church on a tour or walk around the
city. In the long run, I believe that it is more important to firmly
establish the legal rights of photographers in the public
consciousness, and thereby avoid such confrontations entirely.
On a lighter note, one of the big advantages of TLR photography
these days is that only old-timers recognize them as cameras in the
first place.
Best regards,

That's just nuts, of course. But at the same time it would have
been worth your while to contact the minister and ask "permission",
explain your artistic interest in their building, promise a print,
do a group shot. You might turn the experience into something
positive for you and them - serve as an ambassador for large format
photography. If he/she says no, then you didn't waste your time
setting up.
