The Configuration of the Church

35816
The church of St. Andrew is quite small in comparison to other churches in the area, the interior design is also less conventional. The first difference from traditional churches is the orientation of the main hall. In most churches, the nave faces the altar vertically, and people sit in this space; In St. Andrew’s church, the orientation of the nave is horizontal, there is no vertical corridor facing the altar. The unconventional configuration is however not necessarily bad, the pews are located all around the altar in a u-shaped arrangement, this seating configuration allows everyone to sit closer to the priest and participate to bring everyone closer to each other[1]. According to external sources, the configuration of the pews is reminiscent of early Jewish tradition, when people used to gather in circle around the rabbi during lectures, the idea behind this was to emphasize the words of god and help bringing the community together.
