1. You are going to be planning your own place of worship for all Christian religions –
Anglican, Baptist, Quaker, Orthodox, Roman Catholics.
First you need to find out what they are all used to and how you can provide a
suitable place of worship for all.
1)Create a power point for your assessment which will have the following sections–
research, planning, design and description with evaluation.
2)Research what aspects of these five Christian religions make them different.
Why do Quakers sit silently with their eyes closed? What do Baptist Churches have
in front of the altar? Why do the Orthodox remain standing?
3) Write a list of what each denomination requires in their prayer.
4) Any other aspect you think you would appreciate for prayer. Check your notes
and see power points on the blog.
5) Think about the Mosques and Mandirs and what aspects were interesting about
their places of worship ie. focussing on the five senses to add an extra touch.
5) Research the Milton Keynes church Christ the Cornerstone, what makes it
different? What is its design like? Do they have separate areas?
Print out your research to include in your book.
