f churches are made
radiant and beautiful
places of worship,
we can have a spiritual
regeneration without
anyone knowing
what is going on.
Beauty can preach
as very few men
with bundles of words
can preach.
I want to make
beautiful interiors
for both churches
and souls.
I want people to hear
my windows singing..."--Charles J. Connick
