A wonderful book about the Mennonite meeting houses of Lancaster, Pennsylvania from 1766-current day. I wasn't much interested in the Mennonite splits and divisions, but more interested in the architecture and history of the groups and methods of worship. The colored pictures on each page were a dream. Great book--going to go back on my shelf for reminiscing. 217 pages ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Old Order Mennonites are deeply faithful, agrarian-rooted, Swiss-German Anabaptists who have called Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home for 300 years. Their meetinghouses silently embody their religious traditions, and yet few outsiders have seen the startling utilitarian beauty of these rural structures up close. The author and photographer were allowed rare access to 22 austere houses of worship. The result is a one-of-a-kind book featuring over 300 photos and diagrams that document all aspects of the meetinghouses, from the design of their benches and buggy sheds to the arrangement of tables central to worship. As fast-growing Lancaster County encroaches on the Old Order way of life, their communities are changing. This book is a record of an extraordinary religious heritage.
