The leaves look like ivy, the flowers look like morning glories.<br /><br />3. I agree - nice colors, but too modern a design for a Victorian church. Didn't they let the congregation have a vote before purchase? Seems odd...Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-27181429514785242872012-02-26T13:41:45.046+00:002012-02-26T13:41:45.046+00:00Very sad.

Don't know what the carved flowers are; could be what we call in the craft world 'generic' - just a floral design of no particular flower. <br />I cringe when I see modern stuff like abstract art put into a traditional or classic setting. Stained glass windows in churches should show simply what they are meant to represent - scenes from Biblical stories or similar.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-51092240245615203542012-02-25T15:10:31.386+00:002012-02-25T15:10:31.386+00:00Sad about your church, hate abstract anything and ...Sad about your church, hate abstract anything and would definitely find it jarring in a church. Maybe they figured that religious pictures might offend someone.

Whenever we'd visit cathedrals in Europe, I always found it a bit jarring to see more modern alters, lighting fixtures, etc. And some cathedrals just have an odd mix.Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-41819031812054310692012-02-24T23:20:46.452+00:002012-02-24T23:20:46.452+00:00I remember going there for primary school services...I remember going there for primary school services, I must have been away at university when the fire happened. It must have been very upsetting.<br /><br />The mystery flowers look like morning glories, but morning glory leaves are more of an exaggerated teardrop shape.Rosemary Riveterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114557203546642161noreply@blogger.com
