Pilgrim's Rest

摘要

Concealed in a loblolly pine woods west of Little Rock, the Arkansas House of Prayer is reached only by an intentional journey. Follow a curving crushed-rock path designed by noted Arkansas landscape architect R Allen Smith to a large granite boulder and there it is: a serene structure of stone, copper, and glass, with a roof that swoops toward the sky. Step onto the square bluestone courtyard planted with four magnolia trees and already you have left the everyday world.
