The use of space teaches people who use it. This is especially true for the Christian church in employing sanctuaries and buildings for worship.

He does this by laying out three different aspects the worship space needs to reflect: the function of the liturgical space, the different components of liturgical space, and the use of liturgical art. For the sake of space we can only focus in on the first section, but this paper will hit on the different sections because of overlap.
