The sacred buildings of America-churches, synagogues,
temples, mosques, meetinghouses-are as diverse as the people
they serve. In this book, we hear from architects,
designers, clergy, and congregations as we explore and
reflect on the intersection of faith, design, and community.
We visit a variety of houses of worship across the nation,
from a Quaker meetinghouse built in 1694 to a Baptist church
constructed by slaves and a synagogue completed at the end
of the twentieth century.
