Joseph Clarke’s review of the book Theology and Form by Nicholas Denysenko reminded me of my experience designing and constructing Saint Mary’s Antiochian Orthodox Church in Mays Hill, New South Wales, Australia. My building and development firm took over when the parish could not get financing to build an elaborate, Hagia Sophia-like design. The late Archbishop Gibran (Ramlawi) entrusted me with the project and I wholeheartedly accepted.
