    • East wall with Virgin and votive candles 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)

    • East window 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      The etched glass window behind the liturgical center is quite lovely but even with the wall directly behind altar and pulpit, one wonders whether or not the window proves to be a distraction behind the liturgical action.

    • Great church room with multiple perimeter chapels 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      From left to right: a chapel with the great rose window and perhaps a monumental structure to hold the tabernacle. Toward the center of the photo, a side chapel marked only by a semiabstract hanging with the extended hand ...

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      The warmth of the wood of the pews together with the stained glass floor-to-ceiling windows give some relief from the bare concrete walls which nonetheless give a certain aura of austere majesty. The altar/table is off the ...

    • Interior of Wallfahrskirche 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      A slightly different angle from another lower balcony gives yet another perspective of the church room including the concrete stairway to the great pulpit. The great windows, also designed by the architect, begin to make ...
