Excerpt from Church Building: A Study of the Principles of Architecture in Their Relation

The fact that a new printing of this volume is necessary would be evidence in a way that interest has not flagged during the last decade, either in churches or their construction, if evi dence were needed. Nothing of the kind is necessary, how ever, for the fact is patent to every one that concrete religion means more in the world to-day than it has meant for many generations, and that the interest in church building has ex tended far beyond the architectural profession and has now come to include, in a very special and unusual way, clergy and laity alike. Nor is this interest either technical or archaeologi cal: it is not even wholly aesthetic; it is rather a showing forth of a deeper consciousness of the eternal and indispensable na ture of the Christian religion itself, of the part it must play in the building up of a new civilization, and of the fact that if it is to do this, it must be, in a measure at least, through the agency of a sane and beautiful art.
