The argument
The spatial form makes theology tangible. Guest rows provide an intelligible threshold without humiliation. The circle distributes attention and responsibility. A steward protects order and time but does not become the permanent sacred center.
Why it matters
Architecture trains expectation. A room built for one performer will keep producing spectators even when its theology praises the body.
A circle can still hide domination. Facilitation, speaking order, money, correction, safeguarding, and decision-making must remain explicit.
