When the congregation who built a sacred space move on, what happens to the building?
When the spaces find new uses, how does the sense of the sacred remain?
In the documentary series How Beautiful: the Transformation of Sacred Space, images and music show, without words, the new lives of sacred spaces after their founding congregations have gone.
How Beautiful (Phase 2: Cleveland) examines a center for urban farming that once was a Lithuanian Catholic Church and several churches that had been synagogues, all within the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
