Now I might be the only one around these parts to find this fascinating, but there is a really fantastic slideshow showing the correspondence between Corporate architecture and Mega-Church architecture. Form definitely follows function.
I think the architecture gives us clues as to what an organization's priorities are. If a church's building is purposely built all around the people's comfort, what does that tell you about the Church's priorities? Is it a good thing or bad thing? This isn't a rhetorical question. I really am curious what you think.

Wow, that was tricky. Link didn't work for me, but here's where to go:
1)Click the link on the blog.
2)Click "Issue #6" at the top.
3)Page opens, then refreshes, almost blank again, but now...
4)Click the half-rooftop that appears in middle of page.
5)Click "Infrastructure for Souls".
6)Click the large block "+" symbol to advance the slides.
Hmm. The presentation suggests that corporate architecture follows after church architecture. Sounds a bit like Romans 8:19ff.
As we explore priorities the importance is on that which the priorities rest. If the priorities are for the sake of vain stature, then they rest on shifting sand. If the priorities are for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ, then they rest on an eternal foundation.
