Guess again, and think deeply why the British government would choose this style for the Royal Courts of Justice headquarters in London? Specifically, why would a nation want to use an architecture most commonly associated with the Church? Couldn't they just pick some random post-modern brutalist form of architecture instead, or is there something more here? What sort of ultimate encounter were the designers envisioning in this sacred space?
Our class heard two appellate arguments: one surrounding the release of an African national accused of supporting Mugabe and the other case was an appeal from a mentally challenged woman who was convicted of murdering her infant by strangulation.
Not exactly a really uplifting morning, but no matter how empty the glass may seem we must remember our Lord's words, "Come unto me all ye who travail and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." May He comfort all those who face trials, whether they're guilty or not, for He came into the world to save sinners - all of them!
Pax to all of you,
