I’m not sure what your post has to do with homilies (which is the topic of this thread), but I can’t help but comment on the two pictures:

The first thing that struck me in the first picture is, A SQUARE ALTAR??? And chairs instead of pews??? No elevated sanctuary? No crucifix? But as I read the caption, it said this is a chapel. Seems like a rather large chapel. Apparently a chapel doesn’t have to follow the requirements of a church (i.e. elevated sanctuary and a crucifix)?

In the second picture, the main thing that struck me is, the sanctuary is up 3 steps, and yet it doesn’t seem very elevated.
