[Magdalen] pondering politics

[Scott Knitter]

I'd say that's the Catholic use of "sanctuary"; also here in the USA.
But the Episcopal Church being both protestant (in a narrow sense) and
Catholic naturally has both usages. To me, the sanctuary is just part
of the church...the bit within the rails; the whole "worship space" is
what I'd call the "church." But that's what I grew up with (and what
is said in my current parish, mostly). Grandma's parish church, in
Latin-Mass days, had an upper church and a lower church, each cranking
out simultaneous Masses all Sunday morning. And of course each had a
sanctuary. Our Lady Queen of Peace, Milwaukee.
