You need to get into the sanctuary and snap a pic of that wall of glass! I could not, from that distance, describe that as "ugly". I wonder what material that roof/walls is made of?

I agree... it definitely dominates and some may not like it for that, but to me that looks like a very cool modernist design.
Is that Catholic or Anglican? Looks like they saved that window from an earlier church?
I've been there for non-religious performances; the interior space is quite pleasant and the design seemed well executed and unified in focus. I recall that the window appears to be of a modernist design.
I stumbled across a rather unusual church today while exploring Hockley Valley north of Toronto. It's from 1890 in Beeton, ON: St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Streetview link.
The steeple is obviously very unusual, but the church is also asymmetrical, which is highly unusual. Neither the steeple, nor the entrances (which I assume were original separated by gender) are centred and the roof is also offset to the east so that the gabled part is off-centre. The final strange element is that the corners are all rounded. I feel like there's a story here and would love to find out more about it.
EDIT: Stolen from a wedding photographer's site. As a videographer, I feel bad and will cred them by doing a website plug: http://www.darlingtonstudios.com/
