Temple Sanctuary Spiral
With a design based on the nautilus seashell, the ceiling rises 195
feet. Its spiral shape is found throughout nature and in human cultures
throughout history. The spiral represents the inward and outward journey
of discipleship. It is symbolic of the importance of our personal
relationship with God and our efforts to share the peace of Jesus Christ
in communities throughout the world.
