I want to say that it's in the basilica style, but that would pretty much insult basilicas =)<BR/><BR/>It's a small basilica, if you will.<BR/><BR/>The massive retaining walls are needed because the Church sits on the edge of a cliff. The walls keep the soil in place and keeps the whole edifice from tumbling down the rather steep incline.<BR/><BR/>Slingshots are an inside joke. The Church is built in a predominantly Malay Muslim area and there has not been a true Church (except the smaller shoplot churches) in the area so the building might be seen as a challenge. That's why the building is officially called the Christian Community Centre and there are no massive crosses to top it off.<BR/><BR/>And do give us a ring if you're in Penang next time.

It appears that it is in cruciform. Not really bad. What I think is worse are the churches built in round form.<BR/><BR/>Why sling shots by the way? I am not from Malaysia, I am from the Philippines. I've been to Penang though and I admire the beautiful buildings in Penang. I've stayed for 4 days at the YMCA just near the diocesan chancery of Penang in McAlister Road. <BR/><BR/>Why the massive walls?<BR/>Is church vandalism common in Penang?The Island Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737118017895173666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011761.post-13720332837851103322009-04-02T22:20:00.000+08:002009-04-02T22:20:00.000+08:00As far as modern churches go, it's not bad.
