[Magdalen] Need chairs for nave!

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I have been in some wonderful 'pew-less' spaces (all 'ours' ->TEC) that have 
utilized what I've come to think of as the most popular wooden 'puzzle' 
chairs... some have kneelers that fold down and a space to one side of the 
seat for BCP & Hymnal and the 'S' shaped fitting. In many places they are 
actually spaced apart and not connected - sometimes in rows or large 
sweeping curves.  I have come to like the variety they afford, especially 
the way they are utilized at SSW, 'our' seminary in Austin TX, where they 
move the altar AND the seating area around throughout the year in different 
configurations and directions.  They are often configured to allow 
wheelchair access easily between.

I am looking forward to visiting VTS this year as I think the chapel there 
may be finished.  It was under construction last winter.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
