| Summary: | This article examines how material culture through architecture reflects the characteristics and status of two religious groups, by means of a comparative study of the nineteenth century Gothic Revival architecture undertaken by English Congregationalists and post-war suburban synagogues in the United States. It will attempt to highlight the similarities and differences between two remarkable movements in religious architecture, and how they reflected the status and characteristics of their respective communities. It will therefore be rooted in material culture, centred on the physical manifestation of religious spaces, how they were used and created, as well their reception. |
