Maureen's post entitled "Public Place"

Huge weathered doors are located at the front of the building. On both sides of the doors are stained glass windows even more massive than the doors. Those are the only windows in the front of the building. The archway is in the shape of a large, fat, upside down "V". Beyond the doors sit a font made of dark grey marble filled with water. Beyond that is an enormous room vastly covered with long, beautiful, mahogany pews, each one with a soft burgundy padding. More intricately designed stained class windows, each one telling a diffrent story, run down the left and right sides of the building. Numerous colors of light coming from the windows gently cascade to the floor. The whole room gently slopes down to the back of the building where a stage is centered. On the right side of a stage is a wooden podium, also made of elegant mahogany. In the center of the stage, hanging on the back wall is a massive crucifix. To the right of the stage, men and women are gathered, standing in rows of eight. Each person holds a book opened to the the same page. They start to sing.
