Holy Places:
Matching Sacred Space with Mission and Message
by Nancy DeMott, Tim Shapiro, and Brent Bill
The new book Holy Places: Matching Sacred Space with Mission and Message is here! Written by Center for Congregations staffers Nancy DeMott, Tim Shapiro, and Brent Bill, this book is a practical guide for congregations considering renovation, remodeling, expansion, or building.
The authors draw from the Center's work over the past decade with more than 300 congregations on building issues. No matter how extensive the project, Holy Places encourages congregational leaders to keep mission and message at the forefront of any building project.
Holy Places includes in-depth advice, illustrative examples, a glossary of terms, informational appendix section, resource list, and sections on identity, Trends and Assets, Spiritual Discernment, Oversight, Communications, and more.
Ron Wolfson, author and president of Synagogue 3000, said of Holy Places "Have every member of your leadership team read Holy Places; it offers a clear and compelling guide to rethinking—not just rebuilding—your sacred place.”
