The Rev. Dr. Donna Schaper, Faculty Associate in Religious Leadership and a founder of the movement toward reorienting how sacred spaces are used, now has a book that describes this philosophy: Remove the Pews: Spiritual Possibilities for Sacred Spaces. 

The Pilgrim Press says "Schaper is both concrete and provocative in her examination of how the Church might be renewed for the modern age."

"From welcoming local dance troupes to serving undocumented persons, [Rev. Dr.] Schaper demonstrates how the imagination is the only limit to what church buildings mean and can do. Her meditations on community use of sacred spaces serve as a springboard for a broader examination of how the church might be renewed for the modern age. The pews are only the beginning!"

The book can be purchased on The Pilgrim Press website at this link or on Amazon.com

Congrats, Donna!
