    Default Churches and how to read them.

    A series just started on BBC4 looking at the history of church architecture and art, especially the iconography in churches.

    Part one looks at Anglo-Saxon and Norman churches and the incorporation of Pagan themes:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...rk_Beginnings/
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus

    I watched the first episode. Very interesting, and such refreshing content. The BBC are doing something right with BBC4.
