I see not problem with the central aisle. I suppose you could have two
aisles, dividing the faithful into three discrete groups -- or more.  Can't
see any inherent problem there.  We have to have aisles somewhere,
obviously.

Churches in the round avoid the marginalized folks at the left and right,
who are facing forward toward -- uh, nothing in particular.

And triumphalism is an interesting term, much like cult, sect, heresy and
blasphemy.
