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...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches and Chapels: A Design and Development Guide is a reference for structure approach to design, development, or alteration of a building. The book deals with designing or altering traditional Western congregational halls and places of worship through a harmonious rending of religious worship and social action. Part I of the book focuses on background, presenting general ideas and influences that made today's churches. Questions such as adapt or replace and concerns about design are addressed. This part also examines the role of today's clients and the possible types of churches and chapels that will prove desirable and satisfactory. Part II discusses the design process covering the need for a feasibility study and agreed design development. The feasibility study addresses retention of parts of the structure, size of the structure, costs, and consideration of other building designs. Design analysis involves evaluation of the architectural considerations that include Western congregational halls, design ideas, check-ups, and sketching. The details of the scheme design contain precise information that will serve as basis for the client to modify or accept and for the authorities to approve. Throughout this book, case studies that are relevant for each topic are also given. This guide is useful for administration of local, parochial, and district congregations. This book can likewise be appreciated by architects and structural engineers.

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.

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.

Download or read book Small on Purpose written by Lewis A. Parks and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small on Purpose: Life in a Significant Church is a joyful and honest look at the kingdom-enriching characteristics of small congregations. Lewis Parks demonstrates how to see and build upon those strengths. His premise is not better/worse. Instead, Parks shows us how life in a small congregation is profoundly significant and the important role these churches play. This book includes clear instructions on how leaders can streamline ministry to maximize the unique and powerful contributions small churches make in their communities. This book is inspiring and practical, a refreshing point of view for the church and church leaders. “Small on Purpose reimagines what it means to be a congregation of ninety, sixty, or thirty by not focusing on size. I especially appreciate Lewis Parks’s attention to why ‘soul care’ is critical for congregations under 150 as a means of discipleship and outreach. Parks sees soul care as a countercultural act that creates meaning for many who are seeking family-like relationships. This book challenges all congregations to take seriously the small things they are doing—like soul care—as a compelling way to move into the future.” —F. Douglas Powe Jr., Managing Director for The Institute for Community Engagement, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington DC; author of New Wine, New Wineskins and Not Safe for Church from Abingdon Press “Lewis Parks writes with pitch-perfect tone about the life of small churches. He appeals to the experience of smaller congregations as gathering places of worship and service. There he sees signs of the Spirit moving, of tradition revivified through song and word, of pastoral care shared across a congregation. Above all, he offers transformative words and perspectives with which small churches can claim their distinctive witness.” —Thomas Edward Frank, University Professor and Chair of the Department of History, Wake Forest College, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC “In a time when the culture is becoming more and more individualistic, Lew Parks strikes a chord for the great value of the gathered community of faith that is strengthened week by week through their faithfulness to the gospel and to one another. Gather in your small church and read this together. Your life and your community will be enriched.” —Bill McAlilly, Bishop, Nashville Area Episcopal Office, The United Methodist Church
Download or read book How to Read Churches written by Denis R. McNamara and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a must-have for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys, chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element (windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional chapters explore the architectural influence of geography, history, and various creeds, along with an illustrated timeline showing how, where, and in many cases why certain church features evolved through the centuries. There is also a useful introduction to naming each component of a church, from vaults to buttresses and transepts to apses. All entries are illustrated with period engravings and line drawings. This book will be invaluable for architecture buffs and anyone who has ever wondered why classic New England churches are white with little ornament, why Quaker meetinghouses have no altars, or why Episcopalians traditionally favored the Gothic style.
