I think it does come down to money, and the angst and limitations that come with it, either in surplus or scarcity. And as they say, thinking (of other ways to function) is hard!
Totally agree with the church appearance, old v. new. Somewhere along the line, an attempt to make houses of worship to be hip and happening let the shift take place. Blah.
Delightful article, Trevy!

Blah indeed. It makes it better to know I'm not the only one😊
Hey, let's not get too far…!
But the newer churches do seem sometimes to be marketing an image as opposed to projecting an ethos.
I may be harsh on churches tho. Lots of architecture in general gives me that feeling, like building a living space designed by a PR department.
I guess so. But that PR Department has ugly sense of style
Design by committee!
