Modern churches
I went hunting for a photo of a dove for upcoming Pentecost and before I knew it I'd gotten sidetracked so often that by the time I finally stopped, I'd spent two hours looking at photos of modern churches :) Here are a few of them ...
- Grundtvig's Church, Copenhagen ...
- St. Ignatius Church, Tokyo ...
- Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Munich ...

What?? Are you sure the Munich one is a church?
Strange.
Hi Dina,
I know - it looks like a bank :)
Gosh. I definitely prefer old fashioned.
I also saw this transition on a minor architectural scale in my hometown in the seventies.
Lot's of concrete in that first one, eh?
Funny, I was just musing over church architecture myself...
Hi Paul,
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, wondering why modern churches seem less satisfying. Must write more.
Hi Jeff,
Good post at your blog on this :)
Interesting looking churches!! I am quite interesting in modern churches myself. It is a part of my quest to discover what it means for me to be Catholic in the modern world.
Carnival,
I was just thinking - why must church architecture be stuck in the gothic period to seem authentiic, anymore than for instance the missal should be stuck in Latin to seem authentic?
