Every once and awhile I like to share words people have written about Thorncrown Chapel. Last year Thorncrown received the AIA 25 year award. Engraved on the plaque we received were the following words:

Like faith, beyond the tyranny of time,

Like hope, unfettered by gravity,

Like love, not overtaken but all-conquering,

Revealing its secrets in company

And in solitude, in rain and in sunlight,

In the call of birds, the footfall of strangers,

And the rustling of groves unleafing themselves,

Giving ear to the stranger’s prayer

And the music of the spheres,

Hand-hewn from the heart,

Accommodating belief and unbelief,

Letting the outside in.
