Subject: it negates the once needed expansion
Since Angelus Temple seats 3,100
it negates the once needed expansion of the Dream Center’s
undersized sanctuary which severely limited growth.

подскажите, пожалуйста, значение данного предложения.
особенно смущает negates, т.к. означает то,
что колличество мест делает невозможным расширение здания,
а по смыслу вроде как именно малое колличество мест
и подталкивает к тому, чтобы это здание расширить.

it negates the once needed expansion = it negates the expansion that was needed once (at some point)

Как я понимаю, некогда требуемое расширение здания Dream Center, больше не нужно, т.к. здание Angelus Temple (другое здание) может вместить 3100 чел.

A move of God is ALWAYS nothing less than historic. On November 1, 2001, history
was made when Matthew Barnett was appointed pastor of nearby Angelus Temple.
Two powerful denominations – Assemblies of God and the International Church of the
Foursquare Gospel - united in building the kingdom of God, do effectively reach many
thousands with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson
founded Angelus in 1923 and led it to become one of the most renowned churches in
America. It was a center of Christian social action, feeding millions during the Great
Depression. Her ministry – illustrated sermons, running buses, reaching the poor –
parallels the vision of the Dream Center! Even President George W. Bush after
visiting the LA Dream Center portrayed it as a prime example of the effectiveness of
faith-based social action. Since Angelus Temple seats 4,000 it negates the once
needed expansion of the Dream Center’s undersized sanctuary which severely limited
growth.
The social ministries still continue at the Dream Center site and the Sunday
and Thursday services are held in the Temple – a stunning piece of architecture which
is part sanctuary, part theater, and a national historical landmark. It facilitates the
revival that has already broken out. Possibilities for giant outreach services are
endless! Growth and expansion now no longer restricted! Matthew Barnett summed it
up, “God is moving on a historical scale in the city of Los Angeles to affect spiritual
destinies in our generation”.

странно...

либо расширили здание

да, Juliza,
скорее так и есть
(некогда требуемое расширение здания Dream Center, больше не нужно, т.к. здание Angelus Temple (другое здание) может вместить 3100 чел.)

СПАСИБО!
