A look at the present plight and future shape of town and country: compiled and introduced by Nicholas Taylor A New Kind of Church
The Victorian idea of a magnificent sanctuary set apart from all base uses is being revised by a new concept of the church building as a meeting-place for the whole community, with no firm division between different religious sects or between the religious and the secular. Can these workshop churches or ' upper rooms ' still be inspiring as architecture? Speakers include:
Clergy and parishioners from recent churches at Hodge Hill, near West Bromwieh. and Cippenham, near Slough; ROBERT MAGUIRE and KEITH MURRAY , architects: and THE REV DR GILBERT cope. Deputy Director, Institute of Worship and Religious Architecture. Birmingham University.
