RE: Anglican Church in Kangwhado Island

in #culture7 years ago

lovely photos today, @slowwalker.

I agree - the Anglican church has made an effort to blend into Korean culture as far as architecture is concerned. It is, of course, The Church of England, but the usual western motifs were subdued and an effort made to reflect Korean culture. I thought that was very sensitive and respectful.

Instead of the typical soaring stone edifice was a simple low-rise building in traditional Korean style, with a central windowed tower that acted as a skylight to admit light. The wooden pews, the altar and the stone baptismal font were all familiar, yet harmonized with the setting.

A beautiful picture of western and Korean culture merging, @slowwalker
