The Wren auditory church in which the pulpit had pride of place took over from the classic three room (nave, chancel, sanctuary) church after the Reformation. The great contribution of the Reformation was to focus attention on a man, the preacher.

I must say, some wren auditory churches are lovely.

Should we all be up so late? Well, I have no early appointments, must just go grocery shopping in the a.m. before the mastiff starts wondering if there is any meat left on my bones...

MD, thank you for reminding me of the inherent meanings of sacred architecture. I knew that, from years ago, and had forgotten about it. I was confirmed in the New Cathedral in St. Louis, very very beautiful place...

I think I will have a glass of wine. It will help me relax, and maybe ease my aching back.
