From The Houston Architectural Guide by Stephen Fox: `The modern style of Eilel Saarinen, with its emphasis on crafted decoration rather than engineering, influenced the design of this church complex. The pierced block screens and the cast stone detailing, especially the Saarinen-like bell tower pylon, make Bethany a strong presence in the neighborhood.`
