While I by no means wish to draw attention away from the growing revival of classical and Gothic church architecture, a judicious renewal of some varieties of Jugendstil art and architecture in an ecclesiastical context would establish a foundation for the development of a practical, beautiful new style that is nonetheless anchored in organic tradition in a way that most "contemporary" styles are not.
