New Liturgical Resource

Could be very useful indeed.

Center for Liturgy Launches New Online Resource

The Georgetown Center for Liturgy announces the launch of EnVisionChurch, a new online resource that will foster the intimate relationship between art, architecture, liturgy and spirituality in the Catholic tradition.
EnVisionChurch is interactive online resource concerned with liturgy, spirituality, and sacred art and architecture. The site creates a forum for learning, networking, and conversation for individuals and organizations involved in building and renovating places of worship, commissioning artwork, planning and running liturgical ministries. The site also provides resources to members of the general public dealing with liturgy, spirituality, art and architecture for worship and the intimate connection among all four of those elements.
"Although this resource is for the whole People of God," the Rev. Lawrence Madden, S.J., director of the Georgetown Center for Liturgy said, "it will be especially helpful to those pastoral leaders who are charged either with the building or renovation of worship spaces or with the day-to-day responsibility for the quality of the liturgy in our parishes and schools."
In addition to maintaining an archive of planning and design resources, EnVisionChurch will periodically spotlight artists and architects whose work has created admirable sacred spaces, as well as offer informative articles on new developments in church design and new resources for the improvement of liturgical celebration. The site will also develop a directory of sacred space design professionals, and plans are underway to create a digital library of more than 10,000 images depicting artwork and sacred space architecture.
