Prufrock
Arbitrary Moderation
I've been reading a few journal articles in my free time today on Puritan church architecture; and, prompted by Bill Brown's thread on the "mini mega church," I thought I'd ask what people here thought.
What do you think about the separatist puritan arguments that Roman and heathen places of worship ought to be torn down rather than adapted for the use of true worship? Should what the building was previously used for have any impact on its use as a house of worship?
If a congregation is not meeting in houses, but is rather building its own dedicated meeting house, should anything about its external appearance indicate its purpose? Etc., etc.
I'm just looking for general thoughts.
