Discussion Starter: An outsiders view of church buildings

Recently an architect won an award for an addition to a church building in Warrnambool.  One of the comments he made is, "When you think about churches they're traditionally closed in without many windows.   They are not exactly welcoming.  We wanted to have more connection to the community."   see below....


Now what about your church building is it welcoming....does it connect to the community???
But lets go a bit further does your congregation connect to the community...is it welcoming???
And what are some steps we can do to connect with the community.....
