Hi Pipplypig - I'm the organist; we're looking at ways to let people have a look around (in addition to services, of course) - watch this space (anything that happens will be posted on here).
The Best Modern Churches Awards website is now showing the judges' comments about the shortlisted churches. This is what they had to say about St. Paul's, Harringay: "A strong but simple external form owing a debt to Aldo Rossi, nicely articulated and a cool prayerful interior - one of the best more recent churches."
I would be interested to know the meaning of the altar piece, and why it has been created in the shape it has.
The three white verticals and the white horizontal at the top represent the three crosses - Jesus and 2 thieves, one on either side - perhaps standing on the " green hill far away " The semi-circular bit at the bottom is Golgotha - the place of skulls. It's been said that if you turn the reredos upside down it is in the form of a traditional church window but, personally, I don't see the point of that. I can't remember what the Greek writing at the very top says.
It's a bit reminiscent of the Dali painting -
