Abstract	Chapman University had a perfectly good chapel, but officials wanted a new one. What they came up with shares more with a Frank Lloyd Wright house than with a typical church. Though Chapman is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination, college leaders wanted a place of worship free of the trappings of Christianity. Over time, the proportion of students who are Disciples of Christ had shrunk. And the campus culture called for a place where students, the staff, and community members of all faiths could worship and learn about one another's beliefs. The Fish Interfaith Center--a modern structure with almost no right angles--opened in 2004. It lies at the heart of the campus, unlike the old, off-campus chapel, and is open to anyone, day or night.
