The Book: Rather than looking to the past, the author proposes that new Catholic churches ought to be places of beauty that honor and respect the stories, struggles and achievements of the community. When designed as true and authentic symbols of the local church, the art and architecture for worship will proclaim and embody the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this essay, the author helps the reader to read the signs of the times, apply them to the business of designing, constructing and furnishing church buildings for the future and begin the proper dialogue necessary to build and renovate church in every sense of the word.
