In case anyone is interested and didn’t see it in the other thread recently, the, as you say, “wildly colorful interior … awash in Egyptian motifs” can be seen here.
A cousin of mine was a minister at Downtown Pres some decades ago. When he first accepted the call there, he sent my parents a postcard showing that interior, much like the picture I linked to. On the other side he wrote simply “This is my new office. Ain’t it purty?”
And I really like the line that “John the Baptist invites us to a dinner table where the host is our meal.”
But to me it brought to mind George Herbert’s “Love (III).”
