Seasonal objects such as a rice bowl (for Lent) or and Advent wreath (for Advent).A tablecloth or covering in colors appropriate for the liturgical season (or white which is appropriate all the time).Icons or paintings of Jesus, Mary, the Holy Trinity, or the saints.Books for sacred reading and meditation, such as the Bible, children’s religious picture books, lives of the saints, a daily missal, prayer books, and so on.Some objects you might include in your home shrine: You can use the space as the focal point for family prayer time, or as a special place for individuals to retreat for prayer or sacred reading.

Excerpted from Chaplains: Ministers of Hope, edited by Alan Hilliard. This competition was about making a space for that - a space for all, a space with no boundaries, a space with no aspiration of pleasing any one community, a space with no prejudices, a space of equality, a space for humanity, a space that could also be a place. This is foundational: that those at home in God are welcoming of others and invite them to find their home or to consider further where their home might be. Sacred Places are valuable buildings that represent decades (or even centuries) of investment, sacrifice, and service. Participants were supposed to choose a site where they expected maximum impact from the project. A sacred place is first of all a defined place, a space distinguished from other spaces. The people who will come here will remain true to their own religion, continue to draw from its power, and engage in peaceable dialogue with one another and with members of the world secular population.
In simplistic terms, the aim was imagining a space that is Sacrosanct. The program was supposed to be developed by the participants. The physical manifestation of this was open to interpretation. The challenge for the participants was to design a Place of Faith that acts as a sanctuary for the secular world.
