SPIRITUAL LIFE

THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST
Near the corner of Massachusetts and Huntington Avenues
175 Huntington Ave. A-174
Boston, MA 02115

The Original Mother Church, built in 1894, is at the heart of the Christian Science Center and remains today as it was when first built. Designed to seat nearly 1,000 people, it was soon outgrown. The building is Romanesque in style, made of New Hampshire granite, and most of the stained glass windows depict Bible events. Sunday evening services, Wednesday noon testimony meetings, and special meetings are held in this building.

The large domed Extension was completed in 1906, and provides seating for approximately 3,000. Sunday morning services and Wednesday evening testimony meetings are held here. The building combines Renaissance and Byzantine architectural concepts. The organ, built by the Aeolian-Skinner Company of Boston, is one of the largest in the world: it covers eight divisions and has a total of 13,290 pipes. It is used for all services held in the Extension.

EMMANUEL COLLEGE

Emmanuel College Chapel
The Emmanuel College Chapel is more than a place of beauty and historical significance. Designed by Maginnis and Walsh, the same architects who designed the high altar in New York's famous St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Chapel is an essential element in Emmanuel's Catholic mission and tradition. For over eight decades the Emmanuel community has come together in the Chapel to celebrate and to express their faith. The Chapel also serves as a place of worship for neighborhood residents and visitors to the area's many hospitals. It is the only Catholic chapel in the Colleges of the Fenway consortium. For further information please feel free to call the Campus ministry at 735-9777.

After a fire destroyed the University's chapel in 1996, a new Spiritual Life Center--with an award-winning design--was created on the second floor of the Ell Building. The Sacred Space, an open, warmly lit, and simply furnished area, offers an atmosphere of peace, a sense of the holy, and a refuge for prayer, contemplation, or meditation; it is designed as a multifaith space in which the needs of many religious groups are taken into account.

Adjoining the Sacred Space is a Reflection Room where small groups can meet to share faith, listen and learn, or join group discussions. References from various faith traditions are provided, and individuals are welcome to use this area for spiritual reading and quiet reflection.

The Sacred Space and Reflection Room are open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 A.M. to 10:30 P.M., and on Sunday from 10:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Scheduling for groups, as well as for weddings, memorial services, and other religious ceremonies, can be made through the Spiritual Life Office (204 Ell, 617-373-2728, slo@lynx.neu.edu) during regular business hours. In room 201 of the Ell Building, the Spiritual Life Center is in Krentzman Quad at the heart of the Northeastern campus.
