Summary/Abstract: In Christian understanding, churches are gathering places of Church congregations for liturgical actions. But a church is a relative actuality because Christians can assemble everywhere. For a theology of liturgical space, the understanding of the very person of Jesus Christ as temple is important, i.e. as the space of meeting of God and Human, and also the understanding of the Church, viz. the community of the believers in Christ, as a temple “of living stones”. A church is domus ecclesiae, i.e. the space where a local Church congregation comes into being.
