			<description><![CDATA[The Bible describes the splendor of heaven in visually stunning terminology which artists throughout time have struggled to capture in their imaginations and interpret on canvas and walls, just as the artisans of old did when decorating Solomon's temple. Over the past 25 years I have tried to do my small part in helping the modern church retake this treasure which was lost to us in our overzealous attempt many years ago to purge ourselves of religiousity. The pendulum swung just a bit too far, and it swept away all of the stunningly beautiful, rich colors that we once used as a window for which the earthbound could get a glimpse of heaven's splendor, though by comparison, only as through a glass darkly. Instead, many churches today believing that they are being good stewards instruct the church secretary to throw together mediocre PR materials in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint using gaudy clipart and Wordart... Our face to the world? God's will? Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 & John 12:1-7.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Like people, every church has a personality. Design is helpful in our day because of how quickly our generation has been trained to make an immediate visual assessment and come to a conclusion. As you said I don't think that it can be ignored. Good design can just sit happily in the background serving it's purpose, it doesn't always have to be cutting edge or in-your-face, but just like a bad note will stand out in the choir, ugly neglected design will stand out in you building and on your websites. Thanks for writing this you said it the best I have heard it said anytime this topic has come up!]]></description>
