[Magdalen] Need chairs for nave!

[Grace Cangialosi]

Lynn, the chapel is nearly finished, and there is to be a kind of "soft" opening, just beginning to use it for daily worship sometime within the next month, with a more public beginning later in the spring. The official dedication is set for October, with both the Presiding Bishop and the ABC in attendance!

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.
