Re: St Nicholas’ Church, Killavullen.

It’s rather nice though that the laity sit in an entirely untouched nave; traditional, you might say. And the clergy sit in the new and reordered sanctuary; modernist, you might say. Perhaps the architect knew that he had a free hand to indulge all the latest fads in the clerical zone, but knew better that to interfere with the faithful’s?

I hope that this reflects the instincts of the Irish church and that the old pieties will endure.
