Sacred Space: Temples and Churches
My friend Laura, as regular readers may know, lives in Kyoto and spends some time touring around Japan and visiting the countless temples and shrines in the area.
If you click here, she has recently posted about some of the differences between Japanese temples and Christian churches of the Midwest (and, I think across the US in general) in how they function as consistent worship spaces and the care given to them.
There are some interesting observations, have a look!
