It was built over a villa, is that correct? Marvelous place.<br /><br />I hadn't noticed that about the Cologne cathedral, but now that I think about it, you're right! It's very grand and rich and completely impersonal. I liked the view from the top though. <br /><br />We preferred the Cathedral in Aachen; much smaller, more intimate, beautiful...and it has Charlemagne's excessively uncomfortable-looking throne. =DKeeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699051418849331296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888282.post-12986104210919274222009-07-01T07:21:23.755-06:002009-07-01T07:21:23.755-06:00That is a really good insight.
This reminds me of...That is a really good insight.<br /><br />This reminds me of the many conversations I've had with "young people" in the recent months about how they hate the current church institution. They want house churches, or--even better--roving groups of Christians who just "do stuff" rather than stand around and sing.<br /><br />Of course, I've visited some new house churches and I really don't think these "revolutionaries" would be happy there either... which is why they haven't sought out a group of believers yet.<br /><br />So, perhaps, for a true revolution to begin--and not just an apathetic/disillusioned drift away from church--we need a strong theologian who can start the movement and keep it going mostly in the direction of Christ.<br /><br /> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.com
