In this presentation\, Dr. Marilyn J. Chiat and Dr. Jeanne Halgren Kilde will introduce their Twin Cities Houses of Worship Project\, which has collected data on over 250 congregations and over 500 sites related to religious and ethnic groups who settled and developed nine neighborhoods along the Mississippi River in St. Paul and Minneapolis between 1849 and 1924. They will also focus on one case study\, a building erected by Orthodox Jews and later purchased by Black Pentecostals\, exploring the distinctive but overlapping histories of the two congregations and discussing the importance of historical research of this kind in bringing historians\, preservationists\, community leaders\, activists\, and others together across lines of religious and ethnic difference in the effort to restore\, remember\, and revitalize historic houses of worship in our region. \nGuest speakers: \nMarilyn J. Chiat\, Ph.D. received her doctorate in Art History from the University of Minnesota.  Her dissertation on ancient synagogue architecture was published by Brown University under the title Handbook of Synagogue Architecture.  Her focus is on the role religious architecture plays in communities\, providing insight into the history of congregants and the larger cultural context in which they exist.  She has published and lectured widely on this topic here and abroad.  Among her other publications is America’s Religious Architecture:  Sacred Places for Every Community\, commissioned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and published by John Wiley & Sons\, The Sacred Traveler:  Chicago and Illinois\, part of the Sacred Traveler Series published by Paulist Press\, and North American Churches from Chapels to Cathedrals\, published by Publications International. \n \nJeanne Halgren Kilde\, Ph.D. Director Emerita of the Religious Studies Program at the University of Minnesota.  A cultural historian of religion in the United States\, Kilde holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Minnesota. Her primary research focus is on religious space and architecture. Among her publications are the monographs When Church Became Theatre: The Transformation of Evangelical Architecture and Worship (Oxford University Press\, 2002); and Sacred Power\, Sacred Space: An Introduction to Christian Architecture (Oxford University Press\, 2008); and the edited volume\, the Handbook of Religious Space and Place (Oxford University Press\, 2022). With Marilyn Chiat\, she is co-lead researcher on the Houses of Worship in the Twin Cities Project.  She is also working on a study of the development of “spirituality” and “spiritual” architecture in the 1950s and 1960s.
