- Abstraction as a Window to the Divine September 5, 2022Churches in Europe are part historical monument, part art, part functional worship space, and part tourist attraction. My daughter Ellie keeps saying “I’ll go into any church,” and I couldn’t agree more. If they’ll let me in, I wanna take a look.
