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.
More ecclesial eye candy via ChurchThatMoves.
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.
From Maclin Horton, a noteworthy Methodist church in Alabama.
My husband reminds me to include the Cathedral of the Plains, in Victoria, Kansas.
From T.B. Root, more images of First Christian Church of Columbus, Indiana, included in the modernist-church slideshow.

Tourism of the Non-Armchair Sort: If you’re in or near or planning a trip to Washington, DC, this fall, you might drop in at the National Building Museum to see this photographic exhibit of storefront churches, open through November 29.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
