Ecclesial Architecture

Join CTK elder and practicing architect Greg Russell (and members of the CTK building committee on June 5) for a discussion of ecclesial architecture and our building at 99 Prospect Street. How important is the space in which you worship to the worship of God? We'll use contemporary questions to probe ecclesial architecture of the recent and long ago past to discuss the role architectural expression has in faith and worship/ Starting with, “Should there be ecclesial architecture at all?” and "Why are New England churches white?" and then getting to particular questions about our building on 99 Prospect Street like, "What is brick repointing and why does it cost so much and take so long?" this class will be a primarily visual exploration of the deep and practical issues surrounding the design and execution of ecclesial architecture. Class will be led in person in the fellowship hall with a visual presentation that will be shared on the zoom link.
