Chapter 187 Just Call Her 'Church of Light'! (Second update, please subscribe)
Darkness can arouse the most instinctive fear of human beings, and people often yearn for light and avoid darkness.

Therefore, generally, the buildings that you step over have windows, and people always like to have an unobstructed view of the open landscape, such as the lake, such as the top of the mountain, etc.
But this room was different, very strange.

Marcel Nereski, two classical masters, Simo Chwast, two modernist masters, and Kurokawa Kisho, two world-class masters from the island nation, have habitually looked around since entering the room.

Through the dim light, they were surprised to find that there were only a few small windows on the four walls of this room, and they seemed to be added rigidly.

This kind of window opening will not only make people calm, but will more easily arouse people's sense of fear.

The walls are made of concrete, an undeniably impersonal, cold building material.

Surrounded by this kind of material, it will cause extra psychological burden for the people inside.

"It's really a church."

"Instead of."

"Haunted house?"

Even the masters have such doubts in their hearts.

Sure enough, uneasiness, heaviness and even fear gradually emerged among the crowd.

Girl Qianhe had a nervous face, and her little hands tightly grabbed Davidia Davidson's clothes.

The eyes of the rest of the people flickered a little, and they couldn't help leaning slightly towards the people around them.

"Everyone follow me."

"Be careful, there are steps here."

John led the kerosene lamp and made another sound, his voice was neither high nor low, very peaceful.

'Crunch.'

Footsteps stepped on the wooden floor, and in the silent darkness, the creaking sound came into the ears clearly.

These creaking sounds seem to arouse people's fear more and more, and they seem to be constantly torturing everyone from the spiritual level.

The believers' seats are on both sides of the steps, and everyone sits down.

John stood on the lowest altar, and his height was exactly the same height as the people sitting there.

This is one of the different points of the church here. In other churches, the altar is often high!

In the darkness, people are silent, uneasy, and fearful.

"Please keep silent and wait patiently."

Just when everyone couldn't bear it anymore, and even reprimanded them a little angrily, John took another step to comfort him, and his words at this time revealed a surprising majesty.

Everyone was muffled, and the anger in their hearts grew stronger.

Many feel that they are getting into a game of jokes and teasing.

Banxia leaned slightly on the arm of Davidia involucrata, while Davidia involucrata caressed her hair, looked at the altar with a smile, and looked at the black hole behind John.

He guessed John's plan, and looked at the time, it was already five thirty, and it was almost time for sunrise.

Tick ​​tock, time slowly passed.

The time is five thirty-six.

Under the pressure, the priests in the room, including the designers, couldn't sit still.

But at this moment, the first rays of the sun in Sydney rose from the east, and soon dyed the sky red.

A blush began to appear in the distance to the east by north!
Then, a faint light sprinkled on the church, it quickly penetrated the hole, and formed a huge-scale light cross in an instant!
Behind the altar, the thick fair-faced concrete was broken into four parts by the infiltrated light cross, redefining the space.

The gap between the wall and the ceiling begins to seep in light
At this moment, everyone's panting sounds were obviously much thicker, and their pupils suddenly dilated!
In the room, darkness and light are colliding so strongly that people feel their scalps are blown up, and goose bumps pop out all over their bodies!
As the sun rises, the light becomes more dazzling, and the dazzling is divine!

People were so uneasy, fearful, and apprehensive before, but at this moment, there is so much light and hope in their hearts.

The emotions in everyone's hearts were resonated!
The huge cross of light is reflected in the eyes of everyone, and the continuous line of light symbolizes piety and awe in the distance.

In the audience, all the priests including Daniel and Bishop Arthur knelt down and prayed to their God!

At the same time, all the believers knelt down and worshiped. At this moment, they felt that God had come!

No one has any doubts, this simple and unsophisticated building is undoubtedly the church, and it is the best church in this century!
A devout religious atmosphere pervades the space.

Master Marcel Nereski's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and the shock in his heart was about to burst out.

Martin Klaisson stared blankly at the huge Light Cross.

Simon Chwast, Jamie Derek, Kisho Kurokawa, and Kenzo Tange all understood!
They understood why this church appeared in such a form, and they couldn't help but look at Bai Gongtong with admiration in their expressions!
"Abstract, solemn, silent, pure space."

"The human spirit has found a home!"

Kelly Nereski, Adrian Smith, and Masayuki Kurokawa were about to shed tears.

They are ashamed!

They are blind!
They remembered their disdain for Bai Gongtong that day, and now they just want to have a hole to drill down!
"World class building!"

Marcel Nereski's mind was filled with words like this: "Another world-class building!"

"God!"

"I'm the one who's crazy."

"The world is still crazy!"

The community church is captured by the modernists, can the cathedral be far behind?

Is Davidia involucrata sent by God to punish the classical genre? !
It was not until the sky was bright that the silent and devout believers and priests woke up from prayers one after another.

"Father John, please forgive my misunderstanding and neglect of you!"

Bishop Arthur stood up and bowed deeply to John.

All the priests and believers followed suit.

Father Daniel was conquered the moment the Cross of Light appeared, and he piously apologized to John and begged for forgiveness.

Father John didn't care much about the apology, he just shook his head slightly to forgive the misunderstanding.

With a gentle smile, he respectfully invited Bai Gongtong to the altar, and asked Bai Gongtong to give a speech.

Gongtong did not refuse, he put his hand lightly on the podium beside the altar, with a smile on his face, he said loudly:

"I've been to some churches, although not too many, but I found that the position of the altar always seems to be higher than that of the believers."

"Among them, the altar gives people a sacred and solemn feeling, and the church is even more lofty."

The priest, the master and all the believers were listening to Gongtong's speech, and his voice echoed loudly in the church.

Gongtong looked at everyone with clear eyes, and said again:

"And I am very concerned about the equality of everyone. I hope that the relationship between the priest and the audience in the church I design is equal."

"So in this church, the steps go down, and the altar is at the bottom, so that the priest stands at the same height as the sitting audience, thus eliminating our unequal psychology."

Gongtong paused for a moment, then her voice suddenly raised a bit: "I think this is the essence of this church!"

The essence is not the cross of light, but this detail!

Everyone was surprised, but soon fell into deep thought.

Bishop Arthur, Father John and many other priests thought deeply, with extremely solemn expressions
applause!

Bishop Arthur said that he would report Bai Gongtong's dialogue to the Pope verbatim, and thank him for his great contribution to Catholicism!

Bai Gongtong smiled and nodded, when he was about to leave the altar, Father John suddenly stopped him again:

"Designer Bai Gongtong, please choose a name for this church."

"All believers, including me, will always remember her creator!"

Gongtong stopped in her footsteps, glanced at the bright light in the room, and said loudly:
"Then call her 'Church of Light'!"
