GALLERIED CHURCHES; IRON COLUMN CHURCHES: CONCLUSION. The general Condemnation of Galleried Churches--Good Reasons, in much Modern Work, for its Condemnation--The Frequency, nevertheless, of Galleries in fine Ancient Buildings--How these Galleries differed from ours--Three Descriptions of Gallery: the Aisle-Gallery, the Recess-Gallery, ' and the Balcony--The second generally the best--Design for a Church on this Principle--The Theatre Plan often advocated for preaching in--Its Advantage and Defects--Iron-Column Churches--How to improve them-- Design of Cast Iron--Conclusion: Necessity of Toleration for new Ideas in Church Design: a vertical Type of Gothic not to be too much insisted on: Arrangements suggested for Adaptation: Cost: Style. O say that a church has galleries, is, with most people, quite enough to condemn it. In this one statement they find a sufficient clue to its artistic character. They know, by experience, to what sort of architecture galleries are usually joined, and they have no wish for a closer acquaintance with it. And, in truth, it rarely happens, in modern work, that the gallery is anything but an eyesore and a detriment to the building. Seldom is it accepted as one of the main conditions of the case, and incorporated into the very essence of the design. The idea that generally suggests itself is that it was forced in against the architect's will. He had built his church with long windows, and tall columns: he had relied for effect throughout on unbroken vertical lines, --when suddenly a set of Vandals stepped in and destroyed them all. They barbarously cut his windows in half, and hung a system of beams and framing to the middle of his columns; they obliterated all his vcrticality with a horizontal...

Book excerpt: "The task Bowers puts before congregations is: design healthy contemporary congregations. This can be achieved in three ways: 1) blending traditional with contemporary trends; 2) producing "karmic balance," as defined by Jesus: "the measure you give will be the measure you get"; and 3) allowing culture to influence organized religion in order to strengthen the connection between the two and to make them mutually receptive to the influence of the other. Borrowing concepts from global religions and the new age movement, she puts a new twist on blending contemporary and traditional ways of being "church.""--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches and Chapels: A Design and Development Guide is a reference for structure approach to design, development, or alteration of a building. The book deals with designing or altering traditional Western congregational halls and places of worship through a harmonious rending of religious worship and social action. Part I of the book focuses on background, presenting general ideas and influences that made today's churches. Questions such as adapt or replace and concerns about design are addressed. This part also examines the role of today's clients and the possible types of churches and chapels that will prove desirable and satisfactory. Part II discusses the design process covering the need for a feasibility study and agreed design development. The feasibility study addresses retention of parts of the structure, size of the structure, costs, and consideration of other building designs. Design analysis involves evaluation of the architectural considerations that include Western congregational halls, design ideas, check-ups, and sketching. The details of the scheme design contain precise information that will serve as basis for the client to modify or accept and for the authorities to approve. Throughout this book, case studies that are relevant for each topic are also given. This guide is useful for administration of local, parochial, and district congregations. This book can likewise be appreciated by architects and structural engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep strain of tribal politics is dividing societies around the globe. Organized religions are also coping with scandals, disappointments, and polarizing ideologies. The history of Christianity reveals that such frictions deeply wound the church. Fr. Richard S. Vosko recognizes that liturgical buildings are metaphorical expressions of the people of God. He proposes, in a relational way, that when all physical and psychological boundaries in a place of worship are removed people will discover a common ground. Building on theological foundations and design principles, Vosko envisions what an egalitarian “servant church” can look like. In a bold but thoughtful manner, he presents progressive insights into the fields of church art and architecture.

Book excerpt: The last decade has seen the emergence of a whole new generation of church designs. Covering buildings across the world, Contemporary Church Architecture aims to appeal not only to architects and clergy involved directly in ecclesiastical architecture but also other practitioners and those with a broader interest in cutting-edge design. This book covers the development of contemporary church design by looking at how the rational and the sacred can be reconciled and can inform one another. It also outlines the main trends and approaches: the conflict between self-expression and expression of the sacred, between sculptural signification and functionalism. Beautifully illustrated with around 350 photographs.

Book excerpt: Does your church make you uncomfortable? It’s easy to dream about the “perfect” church—a church that sings just the right songs set to just the right music before the pastor preaches just the right sermon to a room filled with just the right mix of people who happen to agree with you on just about everything. Chances are your church doesn’t quite look like that. But what if instead of searching for a church that makes us comfortable, we learned to love our church, even when it’s challenging? What if some of the discomfort that we often experience is actually good for us? This book is a call to embrace the uncomfortable aspects of Christian community, whether that means believing difficult truths, pursuing difficult holiness, or loving difficult people—all for the sake of the gospel, God’s glory, and our joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Architecture: A Path to Creating Vitalized Congregations, by Douglas A. Hill, shifts the conversation about congregational vitality squarely onto cultural development. Hill makes the case that Jesus's concern was for generating a human culture that produces life for all and that the church is to serve as the foundation for such a culture. Hill utilizes insights from the fields of Bible/theology, ecclesiology, organizational intelligence, anthropology, and psychology. His integration of theory and examples for practical application guide congregational leaders in becoming culturally aware as they engage in strategic congregational development. Hill casts a vision that he calls "anchor church" in which vitalized congregations apply his system of cultural architecture while accompanying struggling congregations on a path toward redevelopment. He also provides vision for how denominations and judicatories can support congregations in their quest for vitality. Cultural Architecture: A Path to Creating Vitalized Congregations serves to assist pastors and leaders as they guide their congregations through the painstaking and intensive process of redevelopment. It provides hands-on tools to guide congregational leaders in creating vision, core values, and strategic plans. It is a valuable resource to professors of practical theology and internship supervisors as they instruct students in organizational development. Judicatory leaders can utilize this book for training their pastors and leaders in cultural awareness as it relates to congregational development. Although Hill's approach is grounded in his experiences within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, his systems for cultural architecture can be applied to congregations of any denomination.

Download or read book How to Read Churches written by Denis R. McNamara and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a must-have for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys, chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element (windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional chapters explore the architectural influence of geography, history, and various creeds, along with an illustrated timeline showing how, where, and in many cases why certain church features evolved through the centuries. There is also a useful introduction to naming each component of a church, from vaults to buttresses and transepts to apses. All entries are illustrated with period engravings and line drawings. This book will be invaluable for architecture buffs and anyone who has ever wondered why classic New England churches are white with little ornament, why Quaker meetinghouses have no altars, or why Episcopalians traditionally favored the Gothic style.
