The Book: Subtitled "Building and Renovating for Christian Worship," this is a concise and thought-provoking guide to assist building committees and their architects to design buildings that work with the ever-changing needs of worship. Starting from the liturgies with which the people of God mark their pilgrimage (weekly worship, baptism, marriage, funerals), the book explores the depth of meaning in the services and their expression of the community's faith. This visioning is followed with concrete examples of how to create space which supports the "work of the people" as they worship.
