Architecture in Communion: Implementing the Second Vatican Council through Liturgy and Architecture
By Steven J. Schloeder
San Francisco, Ignatius Press 1998

Architecture in Communion is an indispensable book for parishes looking to build new or to renovate their existing church. It is written to serve as a common bridge between architects, pastors, and building committee members so that everyone has the tools and understanding needed to ensure a thoroughly successful and responsible Catholic church building.

"Steven Schloeder's visionary yet practical study shows how the liturgy can have a physical setting worthy of itself in a space but speaks of eternity. I would like every church architect, artist, and pastor to possess a copy of this book."

Rev. Aidan Nichols OP, from the book jacket

"Everyone involved in the building or restoration of churches should read Architecture in Communion."
