#UN FAILS AGAIN
the evil ones will not stop
tens of thousands of deaths of innocent civilians, including MANY doctors, nurses, women and children, are a modern medieval horror that casts an indelible, lasting, terminal pile of shame on anyone in Netanyanu's government and (I'll say it clearly) anyone who supports Israel's actions.
But the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents is still a fraction of Gaza's population of over two million. What is actually FAR more damaging to Palestine's survival is the systematic and deliberate destruction of the entire infrastructure.
#Mosques, #churches, #schools, #libraries, #hospitals, hundreds if not thousands of residential apartment blocks, roads, gas stations, power systems, water supplies, and much much more. In fact, everything a civilization needs to function. If #Gaza is to be eradicated, that's what will do it unless there's a ceasefire VERY soon.

On Images Of Christ
I see it all over the place, #2nd-Commandment violations in and on #churches, publications, all over the place. The link here offers some reasons that we #Reformed folk see "#pictures-of-Jesus" as violations of the 2nd Commandment. I hope some of you find it helpful, or at least that will help my friends understand why I wince at such things.

Behet Bondzio Lin Architekten combines "sacred and ordinary" in concrete church tower
German practice Behet Bondzio Lin Architekten has completed a church and social welfare centre in New Taipei City, Taiwan, housed in a high-rise concrete block topped with an angular roof.
Rather than adopting the typical symbols of a church building, the 11-storey building is instead informed by the new residential towers being built around it. Cruciform skylights in its roof and a cruciform window are the only visual clues to its purpose.
Tamkang Church is housed in a vertical building in Taiwan designed by Behet Bondzio Lin Architekten
"This building is sitting in a new urban settlement so is expecting to have 200,000 living units grow next to it within the next ten years," project designer Rodrigo Reverte told Dezeen.
"The building is one of the first built on this new development, so in religious terms, it was thought of as a limelight for people to come to, with its cross-shaped lit roof," he continued.
Randomly placed rectangular and square openings cover the facade
Across its 11 storeys, the building houses events spaces, lecture halls, congregation areas, classrooms and welfare spaces stacked atop one another and connected by staircases and lifts at the tower's corners.
"The architecture of cathedrals often uses the cruciform shape as the main element to organise its space," said the practice.
"The design concept of the Tamkang Church is also based on the cross, but in the broader sense...it interweaves people's lives through the church celebration and their daily life, and brings nature into the city life," it continued.
An abstract cruciform shape perforates the facade of the church
Wrapping around the ground floor, a series of thin steel beams mirroring the roof structure enclose a double-height entrance space, which can be subdivided into four for events and gatherings.
The main congregation area is a double-height, 600-seat auditorium on the third and fourth floors, with a cruciform window visible on the building's exterior.

On the top floor is another church hall for ceremonies such as weddings and baptisms, illuminated by coloured, stained-glass-style windows inset into the steel frame of the angular roof structure.
A skylight above a baptismal font in this space is oriented to receive direct sunlight at 2pm, during ceremonies.
The church was constructed using board-formed concrete
A playful, informal arrangement of deeply-recessed windows and cut-outs characterise the exterior of the building, which has been finished in exposed, board-formed concrete.
"The window organisation is conceived as a constellation of shades of lights," said Reverte. "In the main stair space in between walls on the west side, the sun performs a cubism painting made out of light in the afternoon."
The interior spaces are organised across multiple levels
Small planted terraces have been created in some of these cut-outs, and at the top of the building a viewing balcony surrounds the church hall to give dramatic views over the landscape.
Concrete defines the building throughout, with a combination of exposed and polished surfaces in the interiors contrasted by pale plywood carpentry.
Areas of planting can be found on balconies
Details in the church spaces include a cast of Jesus made using the concrete formwork, and a wall behind the baptism space made with concrete cast using steel tubes to create a fluted effect.
Other recently completed places of worship include a circular church in Brno topped by a rainbow stained glass roof, and a church in South Korea with a curved stone facade.

ROMANIAN CHURCHES ILLUMINATED IN RED DRAW ATTENTION TO GLOBAL PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS
A number of churches and monasteries of the Târgoviștei Archdiocese of the Romanian Orthodox Church drew special attention to the suffering of Christians worldwide on the occasion of Romania’s National Day of Awareness of Violence Against Christians on Monday.
The day, officially established last summer, coincides with the feast of the Brâncoveanu Martyrs who were martyred in 1714 in Constantinople for refusing to abandon their Orthodox faith and convert to Islam.
