"Vanwege ontkerkelijking laten veel protestantse geloofsgemeenschappen hun kerkgebouwen los, maar in sommige gevallen blijven zij na overdracht van het eigenaarschap (een deel van) het kerkgebouw gebruiken voor hun erediensten. De aanwezigheid van andere gebruikers heeft gevolgen voor de beleving van de geloofsgemeenschap. Eigenaar en geloofsgemeenschap verhouden zich ieder op een andere manier tot de ruimte en de tijd van het kerkgebouw. Bovendien verandert het aanzien van het kerkgebouw: de historische (katholieke) en civiele geschiedenis worden zichtbaar. Er vormen zich ook nieuwe gemeenschappen. Dit boek laat zien dat meervoudig gebruik voor de eigenaren en de gebruikers een ingewikkelde opgave is. Naast soms creatieve vormen van samenwerking doen zich geregeld conflicten voor. De visies van de diverse gebruikers over een passende omgang met het kerkgebouw, blijken sterk te kunnen verschillen. De gebruiksgeschiedenis van de betreffende geloofsgemeenschap en de gekozen juridische structuur bepalen voor een groot deel hoe het meervoudig gebruik er in elke specifieke situatie uitziet."

Lost Churches of Mississippi is a collection of archival photographs, postcards, and drawings of more than one hundred notable churches and synagogues vanquished by fire, disaster, development, or neglect. Constructed primarily from the mid-1800's through the early 1900's, these places of worship were often among the most visually prominent and architecturally striking buildings in Mississippi. Storms, floods, tornadoes, flames, bulldozers, or the disbandment of congregations razed what once was hallowed. In Lost Churches of Mississippi, architectural historian Richard J. Cawthon reclaims such

The identity of places of worship is one of the most difficult problems faced by religious architecture at the start of this new millennium. Contemporary globalising experiences demand, peremptorily, a reflection, both conceptual and situational, on the origin of objects, people and institutions. Nevertheless, the chance of these migration flows annihilating already-existing religious identities is perceived as a problem. This problem is directly linked to the survival of architecture as a s.

China’s Old Churches, by Alan Sweeten, surveys the history of Catholicism in China (1600 to the present) as reflected by the location, style, and details of sacred structures in three crucial areas of north China. Closely examined are the most famous and important churches in the urban settings of Beijing and Tianjin, as well as lesser-known ones in rural Hebei Province. Missionaries built Western-looking churches to make a broad religious statement important to themselves and Chinese worshippers. Non-Catholics, however, tended to see churches as sociopolitically foreign and culturally invasive. The physical-visual impact of church buildings is significant. Today, restored old churches and new sacred structures are still mostly of Western style, but often include a sacred grotto dedicated to Our Lady of China--a growing number of Catholics supporting Marian-centered activities.
