Show lessons, Fail 2004 page 21 A Church? On our Campus? "It is not a church, used by some as a church, by others as a temple, mosque, synagogue or holy place," said Rev. Rick Lawson. Lawson, an Episcopal priest, is very familiar with the University of Utah's Fort Douglas Post Chapel. The Fort Douglas Chapel is a 2,653-square-foot building built between 1883 and 1884. Throughout its 120 year history it is held religious services for many faiths, weddings, military events, and community gatherings. Untill991, when the chapel closed for renovation, it had been the longest operating military chapel in the history of the U.S. Army. This historical yet simple structure offers more than a place for unity between the interfaith community of students, campus organizations, alumni, faculty, and community groups; it stands as a treasured landmark for the United States. -Laura Jones |
