“A sacred space is not merely
discovered, or founded, or constructed; it is claimed, owned, and operated by
people advancing specific interest (Lane).” Since the beginning of the class we
learned Churches aren’t really sacred places. I always wondered why, because
some of the reasons didn’t always seem to make sense. This passage made me
realize that churches are usually built on land that is in a good location and
cheap for the people of the specific church. This seemed to match the first
part by being “discovered, or founded, or constructed.” The land is never
really claimed or owned because of something that happened there. Looking at it
from this perspective gave me a better reasoning as to why churches aren’t
considered sacred.
