The resolution also urged the presi– dent to remind the Soviets that the United States would evaluate future relations on the basis of compliance with international law and previous human-rights commitments.

Every individual should reflected in the preoccupation with the plan or layout remember that churches are built to be used, and the of the church. This third approach starts from the architect designs a church for the distinctive use of the rejection of the assumption that church design congregation within an available budget rather than as provides the one field in contemporary architecture an abstract of an ideal church, in the planning of this where functional disciplines can be thrown to the wind new Ukrainian church 1 tried to retain the essential and that good churches can be designed only through a characteristic features of Ukrainian church archi– radically functional approach. tecture: octagonal form, centrally located cupolas, and complete openness (airiness) from floor to cupola of Functionalism is not a style but a way of looking at the interior, which 1 consider the essence of Ukrainian things, its basic principle — which, once stated, is church architecture, but adapted in my own way. nothing more than the most elementary common sense Symbolism is obviously an important feature in - is that before making anything one must know what religious painting and sculpture, indeed, according to it is for.

Some of my personal beliefs have entered into the guidelines that were used to meet the requirements for the project of the new Holy Ascension Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Clifton, N.J.
