I worship at Concordia-Lutheran Chu...Thanks Pastor.<br />I worship at Concordia-Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in Kingsport, TN and our building is a "ubiquitous A-frame of the 1950s and 1960s" The A-frame is a challenge in that it is hard to both heat and cool and the acoustics are, to say the least, a challenge. <br />The A-frame is pretty easy to maintain in that the steep shingles last a long time and re-shingling pretty much gives you a new building. <br />The organ and choir-loft is on the second floor in the rear... so the choir doesn't get too "proud" by drawing attention to itself. Our beautiful singing seems to come " from on high". <br />I like your comments that both architecture and Liturgy can serve to point us sinners toward Father, Son and Holy Spirit...pointing us up and away from ourselves and toward where the real Power lies.<br />I sent a copy of your post to my Pastor...but inserted a picture of Concordia's interior for your stock picture of a "ubiquitous A-frame of the 1950s and 1960s"<br />Thank you, Pastor. You made my day.<br />Timothy Carter, <br />simple country Deacon<br />Timothy Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203950953798690220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-35314680824902902452020-11-24T09:55:05.713-06:002020-11-24T09:55:05.713-06:00I have said for years if you take the steeple (if ...I have said for years if you take the steeple (if it’s there at all) and the signs off these “warehouse” churches, you could use them as just that: a warehouse. Wait. Isn’t that what they really are? Warehouses full of people for sale? Sorry, I know that’s really snarky. Think about it, anyway.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.com
