Murray Legge's non-denominational chapel is a beautiful structure whose basic tectonic quality draws one into the experience of the chapel while simultaneously directing attention to the surrounding forest, the sky, and the earth it rests upon. As he developed the idea for the chapel Legge reportedly had the quote by Frank Lloyd Wright in mind stating, "I believe in God, but I spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." To me this is a perfect summation of the emotions evoked by this wonderful site.
