dont know the clear fiqhi ruling wrt visiting churches purely for the sake of visiting them for looking at design etc but i know a VERY emiment world Mufti who visited St Pauls Catherderal in London just to visit it ....... though let me reconfirm that as it was quite some time since i herd that. An individual scholars actions doesnt asssume thats a thumbs up from a fiqhi perspective but again just to mention it.

It's not haram to step into a church, especially if ones is doing so for the sake of dawah. Taking part in a ceremony is a different thing, even if it's a funeral.
