Book Synopsis Designing Contemporary Congregations by : Laurene Beth Bowers
Download or read book Designing Contemporary Congregations written by Laurene Beth Bowers and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Church Architecture by : Edwin Heathcote
Download or read book Contemporary Church Architecture written by Edwin Heathcote and published by . This book was released on 2007-06-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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 Synopsis Art and Architecture for Congregational Worship by : Richard S. Vosko
Download or read book Art and Architecture for Congregational Worship written by Richard S. Vosko and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 252 pages. 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 Synopsis Congregations in America by : Mark Chaves
Download or read book Congregations in America written by Mark Chaves and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Americans belong to religious congregations than to any other kind of voluntary association. What these vast numbers amount to--what people are doing in the over 300,000 churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples in the United States--is a question that resonates through every quarter of American society, particularly in these times of "faith-based initiatives," "moral majorities," and militant fundamentalism. And it is a question answered in depth and in detail in Congregations in America. Drawing on the 1998 National Congregations Study--the first systematic study of its kind--as well as a broad range of quantitative, qualitative, and historical evidence, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the most significant form of collective religious expression in American society: local congregations. Among its more surprising findings, Congregations in America reveals that, despite the media focus on the political and social activities of religious groups, the arts are actually far more central to the workings of congregations. Here we see how, far from emphasizing the pursuit of charity or justice through social services or politics, congregations mainly traffic in ritual, knowledge, and beauty through the cultural activities of worship, religious education, and the arts. Along with clarifying--and debunking--arguments on both sides of the debate over faith-based initiatives, the information presented here comprises a unique and invaluable resource, answering previously unanswerable questions about the size, nature, make-up, finances, activities, and proclivities of these organizations at the very center of American life.
Book Synopsis Spiritus Loci by : Bert Daelemans, S.J.
Download or read book Spiritus Loci written by Bert Daelemans, S.J. and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spiritus Loci Bert Daelemans, who graduated as an architect and a theologian, provides an interdisciplinary method for the theological assessment of church architecture. Rather than a theory, this method is based on case studies of contemporary buildings (1995-2015), which are often criticized for lacking theological depth. In a threefold method, the author brings to light the ways in which architecture can be theology – or theotopy – by focusing on topoi (places) rather than logoi (words). Churches reveal our relationship with God by engaging our body, mind, and community. This method proves relevant not only for the way we perceive these buildings, but also for the way we use them, especially in our prophetic engagement for a better world.
