At
the heart of the Seminary's main quadrangle is its center
for worship, the Frank H. and Fannie W. Caldwell Chapel.
The chapel was constructed under one major directive, that
it "be the dominant symbol on the campus to clearly show
that this is a theological seminary dedicated to the worship
and service of God." Caldwell Chapel crowns the campus
like a jewel.
Built
in the style of Modern Interpretation of Perpendicular Gothic,
the chapel's exterior is graced by a 65-foot campanile with
an electronic carillon. Traditional and contemporary symbols
of faith are blended together within the chapel. Its beautiful
windows
were designed by William Schickel of Loveland, Ohio, and its
organ, designed in the historcial tracker fashion with more
than 2,000 pipes, was a gift from Roger Wood Puckett.
In 1964
the chapel was named in honor of the Seminary's fourth president
(1936-1954), Frank H. Caldwell, and his wife, Fannie, with
deep appreciation for all that the Caldwells had done for
the institution. |
