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.

“To eat bread is one thing; to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
