Description
Text transcribed from caption: P-29924 FIRST SERVICE IN AIR FORCE PROTESTANT CHAPEL COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Cadet ushers begin to seat worshippers at the first service held in the gleaming Protestant nave as dedication ceremonies were held for the $3.4 million U.S. Air Force Academy Chapel near Colorado Springs. Seating 900 persons, with space for 100 more in the choir, the Protestant section is located on the upper level of the chapel with its 17 spires forming the nave’s vaulted ceiling. Stained glass between the roof’s panels suffuse the room with multi-colored light. Behind the altar is a curved 14-foot wall covered with pastel shades of glass tessera. The top of the altar table is a 15-foot marble slab. The pulpit is circular, cut from solid blocks of marble. Official dedication of the chapel, which includes a Catholic and a Jewish section on the lower level, was held outdoors and attended by some 10,000 persons, among whom were religious, military, government and civic leaders.
