A genesis of Christian churches combines ideas: the Church – the God’s House (Domus Dei) and the Church – a home of worshipers (Domus Ecclesia). The essence of architectural creation is set by a church liturgy. A timeless-transcendent act of a liturgy takes place in a real environment of a believers’ community. Churches forms contain immutable elements – rooted in a liturgy, and values derived from conditions of time and place. Universalism and dynamism of the Church is reflected by an evolution of the sacral architecture of Christianity. Contemporary churches, which fit well into a term the “demythologized” Christian architecture, are an expression of ecumenical aspirations for an unity of faith.
