- Summary:
- Most Protestant churchgoers would be surprised to learn that at one time features such as crosses, candles, choir vestments, sanctuary flowers, and stained glass were viewed as suspicious, foreign implements associated strictly with the Roman Catholic Church. Blending history with the study of material culture, Smith sheds light on the ironic convergence of anti-Catholicism and the Gothic Revival movement in 19th-century America.
