Yes, it is a joke. It is a pity that there is so little architectural thought is now given to churches in USA. John...
I'm inclined to agree with you Andy. There is nothing worse than entering a church which has been 'peeled back.' For me part of the appeal of a building has...
It's not just English words - new Dutch words seem to be causing controversy....... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6221667.stm Brian ... From: Marcel ...
No, I explained the term because I anticipated that some would ask what it was without even trying to look it up in Google. I also angled it at the American...
But John, I said what I said because you said "But Americans don't have English Dictionaries", which I took to mean we don't have dictionaries that explain...
I haven't heard 'handweigeraar' before but at least it's dutch. What about words such as mountainbike? I call it a bergfiets. Hairshop is haarwinkel; remover...

I have just finished a new page that looks at churches from a different angle. Needles to say that constructive comments and suggestions are very welcome.Your...

Oh John, I'm laughing out loud! Do be careful of overly generalizing the stereotypes, though (even though we all know that stereotypes are rooted in...
Ah. Okay, thanks. I always thought I had a pretty good vocabulary. But that one I never heard before. Thanks again. "spamarrest.com" <Police.Daniel@...>...
I can see both sides of this - It is really an argument about conservation versus preservation. However, places like Benington highlight a real problem. If...
Marcel, I just came across this site that has many Swiss organs, and other church pictures, as well: http://www.ca-schleppy-chaux-de-fonds.ch/index2.html Carol...
