I am on yet another "lunchtime pilgrimage" today to St.Michael's in Oxford city centre.
As I sit here and admire the comparatively short, low wooden pews; I am almost overwhelmed in this single thought - these pews -and by virture the very functional fabric of this building- are built to facilitate prayer.
To my left, one of the stained glass windows is much lower in the wall than one would expect; so that it's beauty overshadows people in prayer. What an incredibly beautiful image; what a high and lofty challenge - to be a person and a church - arranged to enable prayer.
