Why is Lutheran architecture so different than Eastern Orthodox architecture? I assume that's your church. What's the history of Lutheran church architecture?
It's really not, though. What we represent by the open arch, the Orthodox represent by the iconostasis: heaven is now open to us and made one with us by the incarnation and paschal mystery of the Lamb of God.
The typical Lutheran church has a narthex or entry way; the nave where the people gather; the sanctuary from which the sacrament is served and from which the Word is proclaimed.
Play in the snow? Chance would be a fine thing. I blame Bush!
I know that you have an election coming and that some of you have no fondness for the man but I am confident you underestimate the very low esteem in which he is held elsewhere.
Global warming? A European plot to destabalise our economy.

Snow? That must be something that exists in some fantasyland, or an alternate universe perhaps.
