This project examines the ways in which the architecture of spas allows those establishments to be spaces of ritual and community.”

The goal of Paul’s prayer is a life well lived. A way of living life that is worthy of Jesus himself from any angle. This way of living finds its expression inwardly and outwardly. Inwardly because we are growing in the knowledge of the Lord: knowing His Word, knowing His Will and knowing His Ways.
