Now here’s a spirited presentation on the architecture of the St. John’s Abbey Church!<\/p>\n

Br. David Paul Lange OSB<\/a>, faculty member of St. John’s University in the art department, spoke to interested university faculty and staff recently\u00a0over lunch. Sponsored by the Benedictine Institute<\/a> of the University.<\/p>\n

The introductions are long but in the background are interesting shots of the dedication of the church in 1961. (People sure dressed up for church back then.) Along the way, you’ll get a brief tour of architectural history in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Hint: This was shot in fairly high detail. Put the video into \u201cfull screen\u201d mode and you\u2019ll see a LOT more of the detail.\u00a0 (Thanks, Jonathan.)\u00a0 – awr<\/p>\n
