In contemplating contemporary trends in architecture, Karsten Harries critiques how the sacred and aesthetic functions of buildings have been marginalized. While it is clear that "we still require physical shelter... do we still look to architecture for spiritual shelter?" (Harries, 2011, p. 53) As a means to reimagine the role of sacred space today, this study took Orthodox Christian spaces and practitioners as participants of a qualitative research within a phenomenological paradigm. How do sacred spaces, spirituality, and spiritual bodies interact with one another to relate, mediate, and project sacred and aesthetic meanings? If one is to understand sacred space and spirituality today and the possibilities it has on design for tomorrow, it is important to understand sacred spaces, communities, and spiritualities that are overlooked in architectural and religious studies. Orthodox Christian churches and communities are especially appropriate because, unlike mainstream Protestant denominations in the United States and normative understandings of spirituality (i.e. as an alternative to organized religion), these Orthodox churches and communities embody ancient traditions in a contemporary American context. Research focused on case studies of three Orthodox communities in the American Midwest. Data for this study was gathered through both in-depth and semi-structured interviews, document/text analysis, photo analysis, participant observation, and triangulation of data. I hypothesized that laypersons will reflect a more vernacular understanding of church space, their religious faith, and ritual practices. Uncovering such understandings of spirituality and sacred place making may shed light on what sacred space means and what religious or spiritual persons do in contemporary America, especially as it involves ideas about tradition, ritual, ethnic identity, sacred space, and the material and corporeal embodiment of religion.
