		<description><![CDATA[A thought provoking question was posed to me recently: “what is a distinctly “Christian” garden?” I thought I’d try to answer it in this blog to conclude the subject of gardens over the past month. It is easier to answer “what is a “Buddhist” garden?” than “what is a Christian garden”, since the garden style [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve heard it said that “prayer began in a garden” (meaning the Garden of Eden), but I don’t think that’s true. In the simplest sense of the word, prayer is people communicating TO God. In Eden, there was two-way communication between God and people, what would be better termed “communion”. Prayer began when face-to-face communion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gardens are full of rich Biblical significance.  There are several different uses of the term ‘garden’ in the Bible. Often it is an agricultural application, referring to vineyards, groves of fruit trees or vegetable plots.  (Jeremiah 29:5 , Deuteronomy 11:10 ). In other applications, it is primarily an outdoor environment; a place of beauty for [...]]]></description>

Such has been the case with Phil Wickham’s latest release, Heaven &#38; Earth. The opening song, Eden, poetically expresses a longing to return to a place of origin [...]]]></description>

Prayer has the highest value in the formation of that church, and they wanted an architect that shared that value; not just a Christian [...]]]></description>

To begin scaling down a large space, first consider the over­all usage. What different types of activities or meetings will occur? Is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We use the term &#8216;worship center&#8217; to mean the space where a church gathers for servicesÂ to &#8216;worship God&#8217;. Typically such &#8216;worship&#8217; is centered on music; instruments and songs of praise and adoration. This is what most people think of as â€˜worshipâ€™ and is certainly consistent with scripture. But there is more. I do not mean [...]]]></description>
