Noted church architect James McCrery of Washington, DC has graciously designed the proposed ambo for the Liturgical Institute’s new chapel. Intended to match the existing altar he designed several years earlier, it will be handcrafted from carefully selected walnut boards. With its satin-like sheen, walnut reveals the heavenly nature of the Word proclaimed. The Doric pilasters relate the ambo to the Doric pilasters of the altar, and the small guttae in the entablature enrich the design and speak of the sacrifice of Christ.
