About This Item
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2023. Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. The ninth in a series on Places of Worship in Britain and Ireland, extending from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. The period 1929-1990 extends from the failure of the Church of England to reform the Book of Common Prayer (it was rejected by Parliament) and the reunification of several churches in Scotland, to 1990, a time when the implications of the ecumenical movement, the Liturgical Reform Movement and the effects of the Second Vatican Council were becoming fully apparent. It was a time of major social change which saw the beginnings of the decline of traditional Churches, the rise of new ones and the arrival of non-Judaeo-Christian faiths; all had an effect on the design of places of worship. After Vatican II, the interiors of many Roman Catholic and Anglican churches were reordered to allow the congregation greater visibility during the services, and to allow the priest to perform the Eucharist whilst facing the people. There was a new spirit of co-operation between churches as they searched for, and found, common ground. Architecture began to emphasise light and space and openness and to explore new shapes and styles. All these developments are explored here, together with chapters on orthodox churches, synagogues and the earliest mosques. Printed in colour with many photographs and a comprehensive index, all sewn and bound in real cloth. There are fourteen essays and the contents are: prelims (i-vi); Mark D. Chapman, 'Worship and Society, 1929-1990' (1-16); John Harper, 'Liturgical Change and Musical Realignment, 1930-2020' (17-28); Allan Doig, 'Form follows Faction: Prayer Book Revision and Church Architecture between the Wars' (29-41); Clare Price, 'The Influence of the Second Vatican Council on Church of England Architecture: 'A Holy Place'?' (42-56); Andrew Derrick, 'From 'Bright Girdle Furled' to 'Long, Withdrawing Roar': Roman Catholic Church Building in England and Wales, 1929-1990' (57-77); Niamh NicGhabhann, 'Roman Catholic Church Building in Ireland, 1929-1990' (78-98); 'Modernism and Orthodoxy': Anglican and Roman Catholic Cathedrals in England and Wales, 1929-1990' (99-127); Kate Jordan, 'Modernity and Monasticism: Roman and Anglo-Catholic Monasteries in the Twentieth Century' (128-51); Simon Green, 'From Traditionalism to Modernity: Contrasting Attitudes to Church Design in Scotland, 1929-1990' (152-69); Christopher Wakeling, 'Keeping their Word: Non-conformist Building in the Age of Modernism' (170-200); Robert Gibbons, 'Orthodox Churches, 1929-1990' (201-217); Sharman Kadish, 'Synagogues: the Twentieth-Century Synagogue' (218-35); Shahed Saleem, 'The Mosque in Britain, 1929-1990' (236-49); P. S. Barnwell, 'Conclusion: the Decline of Institutional Christianity and the Birth of the Multi-Faith Society' (250-74); Index, 275-98). .
