Once touched Sullivan preaches about history, democracy, infinity, and God. |

Title | Fifty Years of Church Building and a Study Concerning the Future |
Date | 1928 |
Description | "About 50 years ago church building in this country came to a cross road, as it were, and lost its way...At the time with a few notable exceptions, the designing of many of the churches in the United States fell into the hands of architects who, according to the proverb, knew not and knew not that they knew not...In consequence of such leadership there are many churches throughout the country that are objects of regret covered with expensive but cheap looking and misplaced ornaments." |
