Saint Andrew
Presbyterian
Church
San Antonio, Texas

"The Communion table, which is directly under the cupola, with its symbolism of gathering together and centralness, is the focal point of the interior space. With the members of the congregation seated around the Communion table, the congregation members are made real participants in the service rather than spectators at it. At one end of an axis through the table, the pulpit is located, at the other, the choir is placed. The pulpit is slightly raised for sight lines, and a brick screen forming an alcove has been built behind it for acoustical purposes. On either side of the pulpit are alcoves, one for the baptistry font and the other for floral arrangements. The choir stand is also slightly elevated, but remains part of the main body of the church so that singers and congregation are one. The sanctuary is lit by natural light from a lantern directly over the Communion table."
