9/12 – Pres. Oaks Goes to Washington

Okay, let's open the mailbag.

Just one thing from our YouTube channel.

Okay.

At Robert Mortensen 1880 says, there are talks of significant changes to chapels, moving the sacrament table or altar to the center directly in front of the podium.

Plenty of releases online of the layout options.

Because I said it was a little deal about the big changes that were happening in chapels.

Yes.

So I actually noticed this when we were in Boston, I went into a church and I realized like if you go into other Christian churches, there's like an aisle in the center of the chapel, whereas we have a big row of seats in the center of the chapel.

And then at the end of the chapel, at the end of the row is an altar or a big like monument to Christ or usually there's a cross.

And then

the speaker podium is off to the side.

So the center of everything in a chapel in most Christian churches is either an altar or a cross or a symbol of Christ, whereas we have nothing like that.

And so I think that what this listener was saying is that they're going to, they're toying with the idea of maybe making the sacrament table more central to the chapel and having the speaker podium kind of be off to the side.

I see.

What do you think about that?

I mean, I don't know.

I feel like, yeah, I don't know.

I have no feelings about that.

Yeah.

Okay.

Like it doesn't matter to me.

Like it makes more, it's easier to see the speaker when they're in the center.

Sure.

It's easier to see the primary children when they do their music.

Like the layout of most Christian churches is not conducive to a good experience of like some kind of a performance that's happening.
