The question of who the Church is today--and how it employs its buildings--is connected to the Church's past identities and future hopes. \u003ci\u003eRemove the Pews\u003c\/i\u003e offers concrete suggestions on how congregations can open their church spaces to revive their spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom welcoming local dance troupes to serving undocumented persons, Schaper demonstrates how the imagination is the only limit to what church buildings mean and can do. Her meditations on community use of sacred spaces serve as a springboard for a broader examination of how the church might be renewed for the modern age.
