No matter how screwy this app gets, I fully intend to stick around for the long haul.
That’s what we do.

@Siderskys @PalantirChris @BLASTorBLESS @urbenschneider Good example of the concept, though I think I’d want the execution in this case to be a bit more complex.

@askWallace @PalantirChris @BLASTorBLESS @urbenschneider like the re-skinned Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum?

Amtrak and USDOT have selected a developer for the Penn Station redesign.
The big news: MSG will not have to move and the design will be contemporary, not neoclassical.
Also notable: the plan will allow "at least limited through-running on the regional rail network"
English
@PalantirChris @BLASTorBLESS @Siderskys @urbenschneider Reskin MSG with something thoroughly modern that also breaks up its scale (the Barclays Center is onto something here, but obviously not Cor-Ten steel - maybe brushed metal?) and essentially treat it as a volume that has landed in a colonnade - a sort of modern Tempietto.
English
@BLASTorBLESS @Siderskys @urbenschneider I don’t see how they could realistically merge something beaux arts with MSG

@cappuccinoo2000 @angcathalex The chancel is a disaster!

@angcathalex Hmmm I don’t see it, no communion rail and the altar is the wrong way.

@WilliamHDunne @benjamindcrosby I’ve been known to use Fr [Christian name] if I couldn’t be certain of how the surname is pronounced - but then, I grew up addressing my godfather as “Uncle Tom” en famille and “Pr. K” (lengthy German surname) at church, so I’m somewhat used to this sort of thing.

Say what I will about cheap vinyl window replacements in the States, but the WORST of ours still look MILES better than this row of slack-jawed, gaping maws.

Want your heart broken? look no further. The wind eyes. Queens Drive, Broad Green, 1930s or earlier, and 2026 Thank you @keithjones84 proves that it’s window design that is BY FAR the most important single element on a facade.

This is the foundational life-safety argument for small, short-corridor, single egress apartment buildings.
Guys, we’re increasing life-safety protection by building this way. It’s not a compromise for “affordable housing.”
This is just a smarter, safer way to build!
English
@FrMatkin @angcathalex The detailing is impoverished, in much the same way as Guildford Cathedral - except that at least isn’t a veneer over a wallboard-and-steel frame.

@BrainyPirate @cath_cov When it is done well, it can be lovely - unfortunately, waaaay too many of us follow a sort of “magpie in a Ten Thousand Villages” approach to this sort of thing, which is quite awkward.

@cath_cov @askWallace My TEC congregation has a lot of Africans, Caribbeans, and Spanish Americans. Twould be amazing if we could blend all that together!

The polling indicates how absurd it is to have an ecclesiastical moral panic over 'Christian Nationalism' (a category imported from US politics and with little meaning in a historically Christian country with an established church). To put this in context, polling shows 1/2

@ByCoupletMade The crossing “tower” is, in every way, a mistake.

@Tawadros15 There’s some technical term for these gadgets, but “bongatron” I heard in undergrad and it hit me with the force of a speeding car - so thus they’ll ever be called, I fear.
(My childhood ELCA parish’s died, and now I no longer have the quarters chiming when I’m gardening. Boo!)
English
@askWallace My parish only has one bell thay we ring but the Presbyterians across the street have a bongatron(no idea this was what it was called) they use to play hymns. We're the only two churches downtown that I think have either. Most are silent.
English
Sad that most American churches removed their real bells and replaced them with digital bell sounds and loud speakers because it's cheaper and easier. There is a huge difference in audio quality and tambre that you just can't get without the real thing.
Old North@OldNorth1723
Old North Church is home to the oldest set of change ringing bells in the U.S. They were cast in Gloucester, England, and installed in our steeple in 1744. Change ringing is the traditional English style of bell ringing in which intricate patterns, rather than songs, are played.
English
@Adrian_Hilton Maybe they can swap it out with that Dutch thing in King’s College Chapel.
English
I just don't understand why the Church of England does this. Great visual art elevates worship above keyboards and drumkits. Why shroud transcendence behind a black curtain? It verges on desecration.
Janet Gough@Gough_Janet
For #AscensionDay let’s champion a return to public view for William Hogarth’s vast Ascension triptych - proof the English could rival the Continentals in grand-scale church history painting. Painted for St Mary Redcliffe, it now hangs hidden behind a curtain in St Nicholas, Bristol. Surely it deserves better?
English
@semperadiuvans It’s been an uphill battle - an awful lot of ecclesiastical heraldry has been usurped by “graphic designers” (shudder) who wouldn’t know a brisure from a bezant, and brainlessly literal-minded committeemembers.
English
All persons interested in Ecclesiastical Heraldry should give this thread a look, especially from Point 4 (below) onwards:
Wes Jagoe@jagges
4/ I am amazed by how often the topic of heraldry comes up regarding the Anglican world on social media (and I get tagged in it). Many people have commented that they wished we had more ecclesiastical-looking seals and logos. I believe that this is not a result of a willful disregard of tradition, but a loss of institutional knowledge and appreciation of the ancient art of heraldry. Therefore, we default to what is most familiar and available to us: modern marketing and graphic design. So, everyone has tried their best, especially in a season where such things have not been a priority. Yet what often draws people toward Anglicanism and other historic traditions is precisely the opposite: rootedness, continuity, beauty, and the sense of belonging to something older and larger than ourselves (the apostolic faith).
English
@orthodoxmason A lot of *these* examples, in particular, are concealing lower-quality stone in the core - it’s common to see this in the red sandstone belt of Eastern Pennsylvania, and that stuff can spall to bits surprisingly fast.
English
This isn't just a problem with veneer! Many a house in New England and PA has been built with flat stone stood up on end. It looks solid and commanding, till you notice the corners. Compare this farm house to a cottage we built and a retaining wall corner.
English
Folks are quite good at sensing when something in a building feels off, but struggle to name the why. Stone veneer is a classic example of rarely achieving the look of the real. Let's talk about one of the main reasons it fails to convince. Let's talk about the "Patio Problem".
English
@cath_cov @JHGoodman8404 I postulated when I was still there that it may be one of the last intact German Baroque structures anywhere in the country, as most of the other Lutheran churches were renovated or rebuilt or closed. (This one was saved by William Augustus Muhlenberg raising funds in the 1850s).
English
Very fitting that Patriots and Loyalists should both be buried in the churchyard of Old St. David's Church, Radnor, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1715.
And 🚨 .... there is a lychgate.
