It’s often an interesting exercise to step into a strange church and play the game of “where do I genuflect?” I remember visiting one particularly awful modernistic church that looked more like the lobby of some alpine hotel than a place of worship. The tabernacle had been consigned to some “meditation room” off to the side.
