    That is one ugly church. Please tell me that this doesn’t represent the preferred architectural style of ACNA.

    Actually I like it, but its the people not the steeple, I heard that somewhere. I like this one St. Mary’s RC Red Deer AB, but I haven’t seen the inside.

    It is beautiful in person. We went there one Sunday when we were travelling last year.

    I agree inside it’s quite a nice place. Put 2000+ people in there singing with with all their hearts and your tasting heaven.

    The church is very bad, architectually. You cannot beat the old Italian Catholic style of architecture found in New York (which is where I am from). Beautiful stone churches, and no carpet to ruin the sounds of the large pipe organs. Plano and Frisco may be rich in dollars, but they are poor in culture-its a plastic culture. Nothing beats the beauty of an old Romanesque style Catholic church up north, built in the 1800′s by immigrants. This new style of architecture is cold and uninviting. Not to mention, absolutely grotesque.

    Nasty modern buildings. A typical Welsh church – Llantrisant, for example – has better architecture, has character and has been used to worship Christ for 1300 years. The steps to the tower of the Llantrisant church were taken from gravestones whose inscriptions were still visible in many cases.

    Of course, if the worship is true, the building doesn’t matter that much, does it.

    I’ve been to a regular Suday service there, and I think it is a lovely building, well designed for its purpose. New doesn’t necessarily equal bad.

    I just don’t understand why people are so judgmental of architecture. It’s really a matter of taste. What touches one, might offend another. The architecture of our Churches are just as diverse as our worship, as our Communion, as our world. And I’m sure it offends God more when we are inconsiderate and lack compassion.
    “It’s the people, not the steeple”… i like that!
