I've had this open all day, at a loss as to what to think or say.
While I must say I am anti revivalism of any type (be it of the gothic or the big-tent sort), there is something a bit more endearing to hand hewn stone as compared to painted drywall...

I think this is funny: ‘Are there ways to dress up that big rectangular box in ways that would be more appealing to the unchurched?’
I hope the answer is no.
I think this begs the question of what role does the built environment play in our interaction with one another and God? Are 'big-box' churches so similar to everyday life that the un-churched see no difference between the two?
interesting...
