Episode 31 - Protestant Interiors
from PZ's Podcast · host Mockingbird
This one is about Protestant aesthetics as expressed in architecture and design. It is 'a tale told by an idiot', however, for no one ever believes you. Only Henny Penny says the Episcopal Church was once Protestant and 'Low' -- right up to the Disco Era. Memory being what it is, this is the tale of a forgotten 200 years. The Song Remains the Same in about 200 precious survivals in England, as well as 50 or so on the East Coast of the U.S.A. There, the glass is clear; the design, simple; and the message, unmediated. There, less is more.
