Christ Chapel
The architecture of Christ Chapel is quite different from the traditional seminary chapel. Two things are especially striking: the shape—inspired by Bedouin tents—reminds us that we are all just travelers here passing through; and the Cross—located outside the chapel—reminds us that the work of the Church is in the world. The chapel—including the floor-to-ceiling hand-blown stained glass windows—was designed by celebrated architect Arthur Fehr. It was, by his own admission, Fehr’s favorite work.
