Summary:

"The New Churches of Europe is primarily concerned with that one room in each religious complex which constitutes the rationale of its being: the room for worship. Ancillary adjuncts provided for educational and social activities, offices, quarters for priest or minister, etc, generally are omitted as being peripheral to the far more trying task of the design of the nave. Moreover, the book does not explore in detail, except where pertinent, building techniques or construction, nor does it go into costs either on an overall or cubic basis. Such factors, though admittedly important, vary so much from country to country, and can be so misleading, that it was thought wiser - given limited space - to concentrate on the message of the forest and only nod to the trees. The author's original intent was to include at least twenty more churches, and to call on parts of many others in substantially illustrated analytical sections of the introduction. However, the severe economics of today's publishing prohibited this. Deep apologies are sincerely extended to those kind architects who generously sent requested material, yet whose churches at the last minute - and for reasons that had little to do with quality - could not be included."
