Thoughts of the city dissipate as a simplicity settles around us.
"We know that all arts are brothers, that each of them illuminates another, and that a universal light results." -Voltaire

Most recent sacred architecture would be better suited to storing airplanes than a chorus of voices in worship. Some might say Jesus preached from the back of a donkey, but even a donkey has integrity.
