The Book: The materials with which we build and furnish places for worship are not merely functional; they create an environment for liturgy that is either inspiring or insipid, sacramental or specious. This essay argues that the classic material of church architecture and art --limestone, marble, slate, terra cotta, oak, gold leaf and others-- serve the action of the liturgy better than plastics, polyesters and laminates, and are cost effective over time.
