Summary:

This book proposes that a church building has a double responsibility. It must both reflect and form a people. The place itself shares the mission of the liturgical assembly to be sign, witness and instrument of the reign of God. All who have concern and responsibility for the places of liturgy must look at exactly what the assembly does, at its rites and how and why they are celebrated. It is those actions that must shape the house for the church. This book is intended for pastors and building committees, architects, artists and all who become involved in the designing or renovation of places for worship.
