Allows me to place myself in the fantasy of another time, an older world. When I visit old church buildings I feel like it allows me to connect to the past.

Thinking about how we create many church communities with different theological convictions, imbedded histories, and cultural ideals yet all strive to serve Christ the way they interpret Christ to be.
