    Archaalto, there were a few in the books I looked at, but I didn't scan any for some reason.

    I bet if you hunt you can find some online.

    That is some serious brickwork! I really like the organic take on a place of worship, the shape really lends itself to the purpose. I would really like to see some internal pictures, and am of to go and hunt some on the internet. The architect really did his craft proud here, inspirational stuff indeed! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    The exterior of this Church
    is impressive but inside
    the lighting of the Church is
    very very poor and to correct
    this major problem would take
    a very substantial amount of
    money. More planning should
    have gone into this Church
    from the begining.

    And for what purpose does a church need intense light. I have worshipped there; the atmosphere is wonderful and I never had any problem reading the hymn book.

    The sight lines are very good and one can see what is happening at the front from any seat.
