Taking a series of ideas from early Christian churches, the architect has attempted a return to original basics. The design is based on the life of Christ expressed through Baptism, the Public Life and the Crucifixion; each of these corresponding theologically to Preparation, Instruction or Enlightenment and the Final Sacrifice. Liturgically, these ideas find their expression in the Baptismal Font and Confessionals; the Pulpit and Altar; and the Tabernacle. In the early churches the plan and disposition of physical elements clearly reflected these concerns. In [the architect's] later churches these elements were integrated under essentialJy one major space.
