Art
Our worship spaces (exterior and interior) are works of art. The art of and in our worship spaces is meant to support and enhance our prayer rituals. It can reveal the Mystery of God and through its beauty invite us to be present to the Sacred Presence in our midst.
EnVisionChurch will regularly feature the work and reflections of contemporary artists, architects and liturgical design consultants. In addition, we will offer articles on a variety of topics, e.g., religious art, iconography, church furniture and furnishings. If you would like to make the EnVisionChurch staff aware of artists, architects and/or liturgical design consultants whose work we ought to consider featuring or a topic you would like to see addressed, please e-mail us at envisionchurch@georgetown.edu.
