I Recently Learned About: The Air Force Academy Chapel

Occasionally I find myself trapped in a hole of knowledge; this may become a recurring section as I dump that knowledge on you! Today’s edition: The Air Force Academy Chapel.

Built in 1962 to support three faiths, today the chapel has room for five major religions (Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism), as well as an All Faith worship area, and an Earth-centric worship circle.

The whole thing is beautiful science fiction insanity, but the Protestant Chapel takes the cake:

Dorks like me will note that this chapel inspired the chapel in Wreck-it-Ralph.
