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? On February 22nd, we explored this fascinating topic from the perspective of the the Bahá’í, Greek Orthodox, and Jewish communities. On April 26th at 7:00 PM, we’ll revisit the topic with panelists from the Buddhist community, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Mount Cross Lutheran Church. Among the questions that we’ll ask these panelists 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?
