"A church is, after all, most concretely a building: a place built to collect desire and to give a shape to hope. It is the precise architecture for what we humanly want, when no human being can fully know what it may be or what will happen next. And when I’m sitting there, with nothing to do and no one saying a word, something does happen to me." - Mary Townsend
