    ​What's everyone reading these days?   Is there a new book / article on an Interfaith Design topic that interests you?   Has anyone written something lately that would be of interest to our community?   Please weigh in here!

    I've just finished a recently published book by one of our own - Dick Vosko (@Richard S. Vosko, Ph.D., Hon. AIA), Congregational Worship: The Search for a Common Ground​​.   Dick's book discusses issues we deal with every day in our design practices working with faith communities. It weaves these issues into the context of what's going on in society at large and how we need to find "a common ground" in whatever we do.   Dick's style is straightforward and very well researched and cited.   Check it out - I think you'll enjoy it!

    Hi, great question. I'm reading a well-written biography of Philip Johnson by Mark Lamster (not a very flattering portrait). 
    Here is something for the ID group to ponder: https://commonedge.org/sacred-architecture-isnt-disappearing-its-changing/
