Check out this slideshow of modernist churches around the world.
Having grown up Methodist, I was intrigued by this gallery of United Methodist Churches.
An illustrative factoid from Hamburg.
Steeplescapes in Bogota, some unidentified Oklahoma location, and Camden and Wiscassett, Maine.

Enjoy.
UPDATE: Many thanks to Pat for pointing me to The Steeplechase. Be sure to notice the beautiful hen-and-chicks detail in the Holy Family window at the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, in Sutton, Nebraska. Actually, this is a fascinating miscellany of Nebraska churches; as Pat notes, this blogger has visited and photographed churches of all kinds across the midwest.

My husband reminds me to include the Cathedral of the Plains, in Victoria, Kansas.
