Anyone know the reason why some churches have one tower and others have two?
If you read the article you will see an explanation. It has to do with the pilgrimage made to the church of the Holy Sepulchre where a staircase takes you to the site of the Calvary and another staircase goes down the other side. Above these staircases were towers. (Unless anyone has a better answer Roger Arguile 16:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ghirlandaio
Just be a little patient my friend. I put a Men at Work sign up as I was trying to find my more material. I fear thsat this sort of picky approach makes no friends. I had put a deal of work on in addition which is now lost. I shall start again. Roger Arguile 14:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Modernity
The church inserted by Ineffable3000 is not an example of modern architecture. It was merely built recently. I fear that I have deleted it. I would be interested in what reason can be adduced for its insertion and how it adds to the text. I have read the editors' user page and do not detectany particular knowledge or skills in this field. Roger Arguile 15:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Second vatican council
The Second Vatican Council needs a mention in the modernity section, this had a profound effect on the design of catholic churches, blurring the boundary between priesthood and congregation - see Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (and probably Niemeyers Cathedral of Brasília too, although I'm note certain with that one (although it looks like church in the round, so that's a big hint I think). --Mcginnly | Natter 12:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. I have added a small para on this. Fortunately I was able to look up the document. It was an important omission and may need extending.Roger Arguile 13:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ecclesiastical Architecture - merge?
I am not sure what, apart from two photographs this article adds to the present one. It could, without loss be deleted. Roger Arguile 12:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to agree, except I would delete the Move Church architecture to overwrite Ecclesiastical Architecture. The article deals with more than just churches as it is. If it's referering to Church (big 'C' the Church - as in the religious body) then it would better named as Ecclesiastical Architecture. Cheers. --Mcginnly | Natter 18:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Im all for simple accessible words. Church = Ecclesiastical but the former is more widely used. Roger Arguile 19:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
