Daniel Seo</a> of <a href="https://www.olpkcc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Our Lady of Peace Korean Catholic Center</a>, and he spoke on the role of beauty and theology when it comes to Church Architecture.</p><p>Isn&#39;t beauty subjective? How can the Church justify expensive buildings in the midst of poverty? What is the role of church design in glorifying God? What should be the purpose of a church building?

Seo addressed in this talk.</p><p>Additional resources:</p><ul><li><a href="https://ltp.org/products/details/HCCA/catholic-church-architecture-and-the-spirit-of-the-liturgy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">[Book] Church Architecture in the Spirit of the Liturgy by Dennis McNamara</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ltp.org/products/details/HCBSP/church-building-as-a-sacred-place" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">[Book] In the Church Building as a Sacred Place by Duncan G.
