Inspired by the book ‘In een of ander huis, kerkbouw op een keerpunt’, in which Geert Beckaert reflects on modern church building as a critical function, a number of thinkers and writers, priests and architects (Renaat Braem, Godfried Danneels, Réné Geysen and Geert Beckaert himself) address religious patronage in architecture in the past and the present, architecture as a liturgical problem, and architecture as a possible binding agent between the Church and the world, between belief and matter, between meaning and matter.
