5.2 Through architecture
Old buildings are often marked by human spirits that have gone before.  Ruins are thin places.  Thin places not only transcend the senses, but transcend the boundaries of time and space. While you’re there, time seems to stand still, and there is a communion with the human spirits that have walked there before and are yet to walk. Thin places are all about connection - with God, with the Other world and with all who have lived, are living and will live in generations to come. Others have felt the thinness and been changed by it.
