I think it’s a little early to say that traditinoal church architecture is “flowering”. Buildings stick around for a long time. In the northeast, where church buildings are old and in need of renovation or replacement, the buildings are instead being closed due to lack of worshippers. In the South, there’s a bumper crop of faithful but the buildings are all relatively new and fall into the “three b’s” school of architecture: “Beige, Boxy, Bland”. It’ll take a while before we see the fruits of this new movement down here.
Ben,
I agree, though I still have noticed that the past ten years has produced much better church buildings than the previous decades, and that is worthy of note!
