Envisioning Environment: Enhancing the Liturgical Experience

One of the non-verbal communications that is part of liturgy is the environment in which it is celebrated. The environment can express the mood of the season, draw attention to specific areas in the church building, and focus on particular permanent or seasonal elements. This book gives general principles for enhancing the interior of the worship space with specific ideas and techniques, and even a few tips on what to consider when building or remodeling a space. Since the exterior environment draws people in to the mystery to be celebrated inside, there are suggestions for outside enhancements as well.
