Worship with Steve Butler & friends

Liturgical quiet moments, concentric circles, words of faith, curiosity and solidarity, based around words from Louis Kahn:

“In understanding the nature of a chapel, I said first you have a sanctuary, and the sanctuary is for those who want to kneel. Around the sanctuary is an ambulatory, and the ambulatory is for those who are not sure, but who want to be near. Outside is a court for those who want to feel the presence of the chapel. And the court has a wall. Those who pass the wall can just wink at it.”   Louis Kahn (quoted in  Between Silence and Light: spirit in the architecture of Louis I. Kahn,  (Boston: Shaubhala, 1985).p.47
