TOPIC

Catherine Cooper reminded us that our church buildings aren't specified by God like the Tabernacle in Exodus 25 or Solomon's Temple in 1 Chronicles 28. She referred to Jeanne Halgren Kilde's book, Sacred Power, Sacred Space: An Introduction to Christian Architecture and Worship, which describes how the layout of a sanctuary can reinforce power relationships, such as by elevating the clergy at the front. What design aspects of worship space are important to us individually and as a congregation – natural light, artwork, acoustics, and seating arrangements? Where else besides our current chapel can we feel as safe and comfortable as we praise, pray and fellowship together? [KH]
