Sacred Spaces Forum

February 22, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

What makes a place a sanctuary, a place of worship, or a simply a sacred space? Is it about the space, the structure, the history or something else? Join the Ventura County Interfaith Community on February 22nd at 7:00 PM for a discussion of this fascinating topic. Among the questions that we’ll ask panelists from the Bahá’í faith, the Greek Orthodox Church and Judaism are:

  • What spaces do you consider sacred?
  • What makes them sacred?
  • What myths, legends, historical events contribute to making these spaces sacred?
  • Is there a protocol/behavior/dress requirement when entering, occupying or exiting a sacred space?
  • May anyone enter a sacred space at any time? If not, what are the conditions for admission?
  • How do you construct a sacred space? Is there a specific type of architecture? How do you consecrate it?
