It didn't have that amazing outline window behind the pulpit. Instead there were some randon colored glass replacing brick, and at the top of the frame was a long clear skylight. It was the lovely setting where I first experienced reverence.<br /><br />My grandparents helped raise the money to build it.Johnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773075683946846125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695029109995059543.post-30990275381505222792010-04-21T20:12:14.421-07:002010-04-21T20:12:14.421-07:00Yes, the symbolism of the triangle is beautiful. ...Yes, the symbolism of the triangle is beautiful.

I've seen this design in other LDS buildings and I always wonder why.Michael Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494214196613847171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695029109995059543.post-39365234537865715952010-04-15T19:27:47.883-07:002010-04-15T19:27:47.883-07:00The triangular symbolism definitely lifts your eye...The triangular symbolism definitely lifts your eyes and mind to higher subjects.
