      One wonders if Calvin was able to appreciate their beauty as well as their Biblical scenes.

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 2000)
      The lobby aperature gives a appropriate view of the suspension bridge for a return from the museum. (The exhibition of artworks is as lavish as the few portions of the museum where photography is allowed).

      The ceiling structure culminates in additonal clerestories forming a cross.

    • Chapel interior

      Interior of the "chapel" with a cross incised in the "east wall."

    • Chapel interior 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 2000)
      A floor to ceiling window illumines the chapel with very spare pews and liturgical furniture which constitute typical Ando minimalism. Concrete and steel are all that are needed for this aesthically elegant interior.

      Note slit window on left edge of church.

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      Additional light and the full range of possibilities of the floor to ceiling windows plus wall iconography give further dynamism and warmth to the concrete of the massive walls.

    • Close up of the altar/table 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1988)

    • The color of the stained glass in the south wall 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      The stained glass of the playfully indented windows are photographed to achieve the proper perception of color.

    • East wall with Virgin and votive candles 

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1984)
      From this angle along the south wall, the disruptive floor to ceiling windows disappear and the sacral display of votive candles lead the eye upward to the small window with an image of the Virgin.

    • 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.

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1988)
      With triangles containing stained glass.

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1969)
      Le Corbusier deep set his windows with bits of colored glass and iconography giving a sense both of mystery, playfulness, and joy, all of which may be considered appropriate to worship.

      Bruggink, Donald J. (Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan), 1973)
      The well lit interior is made possible by the large windows.
