Sacred Spaces of New Haven

About the Project

The photographs in this calendar are a sampling of the more than 100 images by Robert Lisak that will be included in a full-color book entitled Sacred Spaces in New Haven and its Environs. The text will be written by Lee M. Smith (M.Div., summa cum laude, Yale University) and the introduction by editor Jaime Lara (Associate Professor of Christian Art and Architecture; Chair of the Program in Religion and the Arts at the Institute of Sacred Music and the Divinity School of Yale University).

Intended both for general readers and architectural historians, Sacred Spaces in New Haven will explore the diverse sacred architecture of the Greater New Haven area, with descriptions and analyses of forty distinctive churches and synagogues. The book will include an essay about the biblical design of the city and will provide walking and driving tours of the sacred sites.

The Yale Institute of Sacred Music has undertaken this project to showcase New Haven-a richly textured, multiethnic tapestry of living worship traditions, which offers visitors a varied gallery of sacred spaces for their inspiration, education, and enjoyment.
