Transfiguration Episcopal Church has reconstructed its worship space to be more open and let in more light, worthy objectives for a church even when the subject is not buildings-and-grounds [that's how we designate property, plant, and equipment in the church world].
The moveable pews can easily be re-arranged to accommodate traditional and informal liturgies. The hardwood floors and variable lighting capability add to the ambience.
The stained glass windows extend nearly to the floor, where comfortable cushions invite the visitor to kneel and contemplate (or, in my case, sit and gather wool---sigh, google the idiom yourself).
Like many other Episcopal churches, Transfiguration was built many years ago on property that would be prohibitively expensive to acquire today. The reconstructed sanctuary sits on a hill on the mid-Peninsula. The parish is well situated to weather storms in the years ahead.
