In his latest book, “Art and Architecture for Congregational Worship: The Search for a Common Ground,” Fr. Richard S. Vosko, ’65, a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, explores how places of worship can shape congregations as they worship God and work for peace and justice.
To show that the community is a unified tour de force in working for the common good, he proposes that all physical and psychological boundaries in churches need to be removed. Building on theological foundations and time honored principles of church design, Fr. Vosko argues for arranging church interiors in barrier-free circles, a shape found everywhere in nature.
Fr. Vosko received an honorary doctorate from St. Bonaventure in 2017. A liturgical designer and consultant for 45 years, he was the design consultant for the McGinley-Carney Center for Franciscan Ministry.
