61. Article 3 - Henry Langley And The Making Of Gothic Guelph An indepth, illustrated article by Gilbert Stelter about the Gothic architecture of churches in Guelph, Canada, designed by Toronto-based architect Henry Langley. http://www.uoguelph.ca/history/urban/article3.html

Originally published in Historic Guelph, Volume XXVIII, September 1989 Figure 1: Gothic Guelph. Several Gothic spires dominate Guelph's townscape in the early 1880s. From the left: the old St. Bartholomew's Roman Catholic Church. with the transept and fleche of the new Church of Our Lady looming over it; Central School; St. George's Anglican Church; St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church; and possibly. through the trees, First Baptist Church. Source: George Grant. Picturesque Canada . vol. 2 (1882). The artist who depicted Guelph for Picturesque Canada in the early 1880s emphasizes some of the Gothic spires which dominated the skyline. (Figure 1). The fledgling city had been transformed in the previous twenty years from a frontier community built in a late Georgian classical tradition, to a Victorian city dressed up in the latest metropolitan style. Guelph's rapid transformation was typical of changes throughout Ontario. and indeed. the entire English speaking world. At a general cultural level, this "profusion of spires", as one historian has put it. represented an attempt by the various Christian churches to proclaim the power of the sacred in the face of a society that was becoming increasingly secular and materialistic. More particularly. this Gothic revival can be traced to Great Britain, where this movement originated mainly among church architects and architectural critics. It was popularized in Canada by British-born and trained architects such as William Thomas and William Hay, or by Canadians trained by them. such as Henry Langley.

The visitor can see here examples of all the fashions of architecture in use in this country during the five centuries preceding the sixteenth. The outside length of the Cathedral is 342 feet; inside, 327 feet 5 inches; nave, 158 feet 6 inches; choir from screen to reredos, 75 feet 6 inches; Lady Chapel, 93 feet 5 inches. The massive central tower (1320-40), the decorated work of which is enriched with ball-flower ornament, was at one time surmounted by a timber spire. The north or Booth porch, noticeable for its fine windows, the arcading on the Lady Chapel and the north transept are other striking features of the exterior. 13th century or Early English: The Lady Chapel and crypt, the clerestory of the choir and the north transept, a remarkable piece of work, transformed by pointed arches and windows of a very original kind under the direction of Bishop Peter de Aquablanca in circa 1260.

66. The Other Side Of...Mykonos A personal, alternative look at the island; includes information on architecture, churches and tourism. http://www.deegeenow.dsl.pipex.com/

Mykonos. The Myth. Mykonos, the Hero, was the grandson of Apollo and gives his name to the island which, as myth has it, was formed from the fossilised bodies of giants defeated by Hercules. (Some say that it is the rock with which Poseidon slew the giants.) The islands of Andros and Thassos were named after Mykonos' two sons. The Fact. Mykonos, today, is a bustling, cosmopolitan, tourist island with a reputation as the gay capital of Greece. While this may be true, there is much more going on in the Island which might be more interesting to those who want to spend a few days in an intriguing, mysterious location. Let me take you to "The Other Side of ... Mykonos" in true Greek fashion Next var site="s10deegee"

Next Mykonos Town Photos Mykonos Polis Mykonos Info Mykonos Photos The capital of the island of Mykonos is Mykonos town. Mykonos town was a Venetian outpost during the 12th through 18th centuries. It was here the Venetians had warehouses to store goods that were going to and from the east. Mykonos town was the one settlement they chose to protect on the island. (Though I did not see the Kastro/Kastelli that would have been built to protect the town) Hence, a very rugged section of the town is called little Venice. The rest of the town is a labyrinth of streets with white washed hoses and colorful windows. There are tons of churches in the labyrinth; the most impressive church is really four churches built in one heavily protected building right on the coast. Mykonos town is a beautiful town to wander through, though you do have to put up with the hoards of the tourists packing the streets. Near little Venice is windmill hill where the famous Mykonos windmills stand. Only one of them still works. I hope you enjoy the photos. Any comments, please E-mail me

68. Wooden Churches Because of this period of isolation, Russian church architecture developed astyle of its Each town has churches that show variations in architectural. http://user.intop.net/~jhollis/woodchurch2.htm

Wooden Churches of Europe Wooden churches were built in many countries hundreds of years ago. Slovakia, the Ukraine, Poland, and Russia, just to name a few, all house these beautiful works of architecture. All of these churches offer something unique and different to visitors. The beauty and history of each church attracts thousands of tourists each year. Perhaps what draws some to these churches is the history that lives within them. St. Francis of Assisi built Hervartov, the oldest wooden church in Slovakia. Many features in this church have been preserved, such as the central painting of Virgin Mary with “the saints and four escutcheons from the former Gothic main altar and a Late-Gothic suspension picture depicting Stigmatizing of St. Francis.” Construction of chapels, wooden churches, and bell towers were intertwined with art in the Ukraine. The first written record of these wooden churches comes from the chronicles of the princely period in the tenth century. More than eight hundred churches were built in Norway, Scandinavia, France, Germany, and a few in England. Most of these churches were constructed during a time of Christianization in Europe. The wooden churches in these countries, thanks to their unique architecture, began the period of wooden church construction. In his book

Back Home Index to Eastern Conwy Churches survey Eastern Conwy Churches Survey Church of St Sannan , Llansannan Llansannan Church is in the Diocese of St Asaph, in the community of Llansannan in the county of Conwy. It is located at Ordnance Survey national grid reference SH9340865902. The church is recorded in the CPAT Sites and Monuments Record as number 16885 and this number should be quoted in all correspondence. Summary St Sannan's church lies at the centre of the small village of Llansannan, seven and a half miles south of Abergele. It is a double naved structure but the nature of the masonry and the heavy pointing preclude a clear impression of whether there are structural changes, other than those resulting from the insertion of Victorian windows, and the shell of the building could be medieval or even date from the late 18thC restoration. Certainly no medieval architectural features have survived the 18thC and 19thC restorations. Internally there is nothing medieval, while the post-medieval furnishings and fittings are unexceptional. The churchyard is small, veering towards curvilinearity, but contains few memorials that are obviously pre-19thC. It is uncertain whether the structure was wholly rebuilt in the later part of the 18thC, or just modified. The lower wall faces could be 18thC or earlier. One south window is in 18thC style though in Victorian stonework, while dressings from another 18thC window used for packing around a Victorian successor. Otherwise the fenestration is wholly Victorian.

To the Glory of God and the Salvation of Man On the Occasion of the Dedication of the Sanctuary of Our Savior Lutheran Church Houston, Texas 25 June, 2000 The Presentation of the Augsburg Confession The Cornerstone of the "Mountain Church" in Seiffen - 1779 (Norman Adams Photos) "To the Glory of God and the Salvation of Man" - These words were engraved in golden letters on the cornerstone of the Mountain Church in the Saxon village of Seiffen in the year of our Lord 1779. In many respects, the design of our sanctuary has been inspired by this classic Lutheran Church. Our earnest and heartfelt prayer as we dedicate our new church today is that all may be done "To the Glory of God and the Salvation of Man." May the Gospel resound in this House of God with power from on high. May His Word ever be preached among us in all of its saving truth and purity. May the Sacraments which our gracious Lord has established always be rightly administered in our congregation for the forgiveness of our sins and strengthening of our faith. We dedicate our church today, in the year of our Lord 2000 "To the Glory of God and the Salvation of Man." Church Architecture and Theology "Architecture for churches is a matter of Gospel. A church that is interested in proclaiming the Gospel must also be interested in architecture, for year after year the architecture of the church proclaims a message that either augments the preached Word or conflicts with it. Church architecture cannot, therefore, be left to those of refined tastes, the aesthetic elite, or even the professional architect. If the Gospel of Christ is worthy or accurate verbal proclamation, week by week, it is also worthy of faithful architectural proclamation, where its message speaks year after year...It is most unfortunate that many people understand the word architecture solely in terms of style...A church is a place where God’s people gather together to worship Him, and how they worship, as well as what they believe, is either reinforced or undermined by the architecture. Church architecture is therefore first and foremost a matter of theology rather than a matter of style."

74. PHILIPPINE CHURCHES The flowering of colonial church architecture was a significant event in thehistory of the Philippine Colonial Church architecture A UniqueFlowering http://www2.hawaii.edu/~gaspar/churches.html

The flowering of colonial church architecture was a significant event in the history of the Philippines. Geographic location, climate, materials, and the spontaneous and improvisational attitude of the Filipinos created a kind of architecture that was unique from Western architectural idioms. The result may not be correct from a Western's point of view, but the indigenized styles are correct in their own setting. The churches hardly impersonate European or Mexican models; instead, they seem to charm each other. Sacred Homes of the Ekklesia: The Colonial Churches of the Philippines A s a recipient of a travel research scholarship from the School of Architecture at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1995, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel across the Philippine archipelago and visited some of its renown colonial churches. The research scholarship was a culmination of my fundamental curiosity towards Philippine culture and architecturean interest that matured into a mission of inquiry while in the School of Architecture. To finally see such wonderful Spanish colonial churches in their own unassuming settings; to experience their aura; and to touch with my bare hands living monuments of a charged bygone era was an experience that can 't be described in tangible terms. M y travel research topic traces back in 1989 when I visited an old colonial church in Paoay in the northern province of the Philippines. Although I was not yet in the School of Architecture at the time and was not quite familiar with the idioms of church architecture, I remember being dazzled by the church's enormous solid buttresses and wondered about their architectural significance. I also sensed something special about the church, maybe the way it stood proudly as a witness to the Filipino culture, or maybe because it evoked an architectural language that I had yet to learn.

Mohiniyattam ARCHITECTURE Mosques Churches CHURCHES Tradition has it that Apostle St.Thomas who is said to have landed at Muziris in AD 52, built seven churches in Kerala. The first wave of Christianity to Kerala must have come from West Asia. Inscriptions for instance of the times of Sthanu Ravi (844-85) and Vira Raghava Chakravarti (AD1225) clearly reveal the Christian communities enjoyed many rights and privileges. It is widely known that early churches in the Roman world, including West Asia, initiated the plan of Civil Basilica having a semi circular termination, and with certain modifications for better fulfillment of liturgical needs. On the other hand, Kerala adopted a temple plan comprising a four-sided sanctuary fronted by a larger pillared hall, which in the Christian tradition became chancel and nave respectively. Similarly the tower over the sanctuary possibly soared higher than of the nave as in the Hindu temple, the Sikhara above the garbha-griha has the maximum height. This type of church-architecture can still be seen in Kerala.

The Church of All Saints is situated on high ground overlooking the surrounding countryside. It is a little way out of the village along Church Lane. At week-ends and other special occasions, the Church is floodlight and can be seen for miles around. The parish is part of the united benefice of Keysoe with Bolnhurst and Little Staughton (now suspended). It is in the rural deanery of Sharnbrook, archdeaconary of Bedford and the diocese of St Albans. Because we are a rural parish, we aim to reflect the broad church and services are simple. We hold a service at 10.00am each Sunday either at All Saints or at St Dunstan's Church Bolnurst with which we have close ties.
