Architecture

The building for our worship together is domus Dei (house of God) and house of the Church, that is, the baptized assembly, the Body of Christ.  It is a place of encounter -- with Christ and with the Church.  Thus, we build and renovate our churches with the greatest of love and care.  Essential to the process are prayerful reflection, thoughtful study, wise discernment, collaboration among individuals and communities, and a long-term vision.  EnVisionChurch will feature church building and renovation projects, as well as articles addressing various facets of church design, church construction, & preservation of historic churches.  Suggestions? E-mail us: envisionchurch@georgetown.edu.
