Is it too much to expect that they use it as an example of what a church is NOT supposed to look like?; January 16, 2008 at 8:13:00 PM EST
Alex Fries said...: hahahaha, try late 90's.

Jeff: i believe it is in the section that talks about parish communities or something. It has nothing to do with church design where it is placed.; January 16, 2008 at 11:02:00 PM EST
Jeffrey Smith said...: Now Kyle, you're young enough to remember how school books are done. Someone puts together a new one with all the latest bells and whistles, them they keep reprinting it until it's hopelessly out of date, then give it a new cover and up the price %200 for a new addition. Half the material in most of the textbooks out there is probably vintage 70's. I remember a young man showing me his college sociology text, with a whole chapter on Bishop Tutu. All through it they called him a Catholic bishop and talked about the Church's reaction to him. He's Anglican.; January 17, 2008 at 5:50:00 AM EST

Jeffrey Smith said...: Since it's in a textbook, it's nowhere around here. California would be my guess.; January 19, 2008 at 5:17:00 PM EST
Jeffrey Smith said...: I'd also guess it's a fairly old picture.; January 19, 2008 at 5:18:00 PM EST

"And for a brief time after the Second Vatican Council, poor taste reigned supreme before the Benedictine reforms."; January 19, 2008 at 5:37:00 PM EST
