I have been watching this building go up for the last year or so as I go to and from the church building. It is for a local Hindu society. Looking at the outside of it as they have framed and filled out the decorations has been interesting. After reading the description I am interested in seeing the inside once it is build.
It seems very odd to me to have idols set up inside a building. Of course they would probably think that the 4 giant crosses that mark the center of our main building are weird (90 foot ones on the front and back and then 60 - 70 foot ones in the front of the foyer and auditorium), and of course the baptistery.
I keep having a fear that someone will vandalize the building, although I doubt it will happen. Jacksonville is a very multi-ethnic town, even in the predominantly white area where we are located. This makes the house of worship architecture on Greenland Rd. even more interesting. From the golden dome of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at one end to our modern warehouse / office complex / hospital / fortress at the other end.
