I have a friend to thank for introducing me to the outstanding journal Sacred Architecture, a publication of the Institute for Sacred Architecture.
The Institute “is dedicated to a renewal of beauty in contemporary church design. Through its scholarly articles on architectural history, principles of design, and contemporary buildings, the Journal seeks to inspire and inform.”
The current issue certainly does both—inspires and informs. In 50 plus pages I counted no less than 82 color photographs accompanying articles as diverse as the reconstruction of St. Mary’s Chapel—the first Catholic church in the colonies, to the role of Eucharistic Adoration chapels, to London Embassy chapels, to “the Saint Francis” effect on Renaissance church art.
I’ve included the current issue Contents, and a few photos, to give readers a fuller flavor.
As one who appreciates sacred art and architecture in parish and collegiate churches, abbeys, basilicas, chapels, convents, and oratories, I’m delighted to learn of this journal. It is published twice each year.
