Why are Church Buildings Different?

Whether you’re into Christianity or not, you gotta admit that church buildings are pretty fascinating. They’re all over the map in terms of design and feel, and I thought it would be fun to put some thought into why that is. I met my buddy Shelby and went on a bizarre break-neck speed church architecture tour in Southern California to try to understand it better. We literally went unannounced to over 30 churches and learned a lot by looking around and through some fascinating conversations.

I went on the trip expecting to find one thing, and the I found something else. That’s always good for the humility meter and makes for a much more interesting trip.
