(doubtful) <BR/><BR/> As for dark places v light ones...I suppose there is something to the cultivation of mystery within a dark space. I always loved the church to be just a little dark and shadowy. I found it more meditative and inspiring. <BR/><BR/>Annuziata was a decidedly "low-mass" kind of place. The good people of Ladue would have found anything else to be, well, vulgar. Though, and not to be uncharitable, the music was in bad taste and the abbreviated liturgies generally left one cold and uninspired. However, it was certainly in better taste than the "let's hold hands and rock the heavens" masses going on elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>If you want light visit St Anselm out on Mason Rd. It is a terrific Mid-Century Modern church, which I gather is not your thing, but light filled it is. I hope they don't tear it down. It would be a shame. It is such a great testament to its time, architecturally speaking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
