Newsweek - "Remodeling the Churches"

Here is an article I found on Newsweek Online. I thought it was interesting since it mentions the Czech Republic prominently and describes the overall decline in belief in Europe in general, as well as the state of old church buildings across the continent (and the new uses they are being put to). I remember last year stopping to take pictures of an old church in the tiny village of Vrchni Orlice, in the near-by Orlice Mountains. The building was in terrible shape, the front door open, and some local farmer was using the interior as a sheepfold. Here's the link to Newsweek: Remodeling the Churches

Interesting article. Out of curiousity, would the Litomysal church ever consider buying a cathedral if one was on the market?

Hi Lee, no I can't believe we'd ever consider that!

Steven, It is good to see that you and your family are doing well. Tracy and the family are doing great and I am now officially out of the military. Good luck
