The bema, or sanctuary, is the holiest room, while the narthex is the least sacred of all. However, there are churches that have a further architectural volume in front of the narthex. Varying in structure and shape, from an open portico to a closed room, this fourth architectural unit, more or less integrated in the church building, is usually called the exonarthex. It is clear from the rich literature on orthodox church architecture that the term exonarthex is used as a denomination for all the kinds of building units that are situated in front of the narthex. The present thesis aims firstly to define these "additional" building units and then to demonstrate the ways in which they have spread both over time and geographically. The different types of these architectural structures are discussed; in certain cases they were built at the same time as the church, while in others they were added later. The research analyses a period of eight hundred years, from the 9

Extractions: Ave Maria University needs to return to the drawing board but quick! This week Ave Maria University Although its floor plan is vaguely reminiscent of a basilica-style church, the unsightly structure otherwise breaks with the history and tradition of Catholic church architecture while tipping its hat to some of the more avant-garde Protestant productions of recent decades. Moreover, it consciously avoids any connection to the rich Spanish mission style so common to Florida for several centuries. Ave Maria seems to be making a fuss over the shear enormity of the proposed church. According to a March 24 press release, university officials boasted that the new chapel "will have [the] largest seating capacity of any Catholic church in the country" as well as "the largest crucifix in the world." Yellow Armadillo in L.A., both of which serve as the spiritual centerpiece of archdioceses that serve millions of Catholics?

Matthew Enquist, Ryan Nicholson, and John Doyle are undergraduate thesis students in Notre Dame's School of Architecture. In the final year of the five-year program students work on detailed plans for a hypothetical project of their own choosing. Working under Professor Thomas Gordon Smith, the students also designed three major buildings for the Naples campus. "Our program was to develop an integrated campus and town master plan," explained Enquist, "and then to develop three iconic buildings of this university townthe library, the civic center, and the church."

Extractions: During the Colonial era the prevailing architecture was English Georgian, which was founded securely on the work of the late Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, as interpreted by Indigo Jones and subsequent English architects. In church building, the translation of Palladio's influence came through the designs of Christopher Wren and James Gibbs. Although South Carolina's religious freedom (for all non-Catholics) attracted many Dissenters, the Church of England was the established church after 1706. Even before that, the '"English Church" was dominant> and ' its houses of worship were public buildings. The first structure of St. Philip's Church, the first Anglican parish, was erected in 1681-82 at the southeast comer of the Meeting and Broad Streets, the site now occupied by St. Michael's Church

Extractions: The Calvin Theological Seminary chapel renovation took some surprising twists. But churches considering a renovation can glean good ideas from the seminary's process. Our chapel was built in 1959. In its time, it was beautiful, the preferred place to get married, says Duane Kelderman , vice president for administration and professor of preaching at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Forty-five years later, the seminary chapel felt cold in winter, stifling in summerand always dark, even with all the lights on. The carpet was fraying and the mosaic behind the cross gave souvenirs. In true semper reformans, semper reformanda style (always reformed, always reforming), the seminary renovated its chapel in a way true to its heritage and true to what it hasand maybecome. Seeing before and after views of the chapel would be a major light bulb moment for many people, says John Witvliet, a renovation committee member and director of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.
Extractions: the physics of invisible and immortal David Pinnegar BSC ARCS An old man once asked what was the difference between someone from the town and someone from the countryside. " The town man ", he said, " is clever. The country man is wise Town men might laugh at the bee-keeper talking to his bees or the seedsman talking to his plants and tell them that they are mad. When a swarm of wild bees in the walls of Hammerwood heard a bee-keeper proposing to kill them for fear of the spread of disease, the bees heard him and felt my fear for them! Within two hours they had fled elsewhere. Increasingly that which was unimaginable is now understandable. What would the medieval peasant have thought about that biblical story of Adam being put to sleep, cut open, the extraction of a rib and his being sewn back together, alive? In the past, life was simple - it was all a matter of belief. As we ate of the tree of knowledge, life became less clear. With imperfect knowledge Darwinists told us that we evolved from a primeval sea of life and they disrupted the faith of many. Yet scientific understanding of the DNA mechanism may yet confirm conclusively our old beliefs. If life ever evolved from chaos, the ancient myths suggest that it did so in another creation. What was light long ago has faded into darkness. Imperfect knowledge plunges us into a sea of uncertainty but in the deeper knowledge of science we rediscover the beauty of creation. The job common to artists, priests and scientists is to make that which was invisible visible. The task of the museum curator is to preserve the source materials.
