Megachurches

Online magazine SLATE has compiled a list of megachurches (and when I say megachurches, I do mean houses of God that could house tens of thousands of people at a time) and put it in a nifty slideshow complete with information about the infrastructures.

The image below is one of the 10 photos included in the slideshow:



Slate says:

The 16,000-seat sanctuary of Lakewood Church in Houston (at right), the nation's largest nondenominational congregation, has padded theater seats instead of wooden pews, a stage instead of an altar, and video projection screens instead of stained-glass windows. Hardly a classic place of worship, although the expansive expression of religious community in this vast space is as impressive, in its way, as any soaring medieval nave.

16,000! It's like a concert crowd! I could hear the roaring of the crowd from where I'm typing.
