But beautiful architecture shows us images of actual objects… not substanceless projected images. And architecture isn't animated. Changing slides on a PowerPoint, even with no "transitions" whatsoever, is itself an animation of sorts, and would seem quite distracting to me.Distraction? Yeah, so is architecture. I've been distracted from worship before by architecture. As I recall, that was the rationale behind the Calvinist revisions to many churches - remove the distraction so people can only look at what's really going on.
