At least it isn't Catholic.

Well - the dogwood blossoms in the foreground are a nice touch...

Whether it does or doesn't "seem" to be Catholic depends, I suppose, on how familiar one is with recently-built Catholic churches.

Sadly, having some such familiarity, I suspect it is Catholic. But I hope I'm wrong.

where did you find this?

is that the catholic theatre (in the round)RC posted about?

This is on the campus of Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, WV. It's a private liberal-arts place affiliated with the Presbyterian-USA church.

I live in northern Virginia; don't tell me about ugly Catholic churches. I am most encouraged by the new building in our diocese, though. Check out this church and this one. Look at the renderings and elevations. These are going to be gems.

Here is a link:

to the photos of the new church building of Our Lady of Walsingham, an Anglican Use parish in Houston, Texas.

Takes forever to load.

BUT THAT'S a CHURCH!

(And so is our little St. Mary the Virgin, though not so impressive looking.....)

I must be of limited intelligence, since it never occurred to me to build a church to look like a giant collapsed tent.

sorry but this doesn't really impress me as a great church.

If you wanna see something nice, check out my wedding pictures. Kinda in a french/spanish style, check out the inside

If you'll look at the following, I think you'll understand my enthusiasm for the new ones.

Dear Sir,

It is a lovely buidling. The blossoms are quite nice. As long as it isn't a Catholic Church whoever owns it is welcome to it--but it looks like a nice library/social hall kind of place.

shalom,

looks like something 3D graph from my Calc textbook.

I'm thinking of a first annual st. blogs ugly picture of a church contest. I've got a digital cam and know of some doosies.

I'm suprised no one figured out where the design came from; doesn't anybody remember First Spaceship On Venus?

It does look like something straight out of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. =)

Needs a propeller on top, in my opinion. ;)

Inside's kind of interesting though. Looks like a marshmallow's view of an electric stove just before the fire starts.

it looks like a fembot boobie.

All I can say is: Eek.

It looks like "Our Lady of the Microphone Stand" to me.

It looks like one of those things you stab receipts down on next to the cash register.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
