All-faiths chapel, University of Tiberia

Brother François, University of Tiberia, Arlinsport, August 608.

Your eminences,

I beg your forgiveness, but I am beginning to suspect that I am not the right man for the position here at the University of Tiberia.

When I applied for this post, I had hoped that it would be suitable for a man of action. I believed that by great labour, or sheer force of will, I might have an impact here. I had hoped that I could bring some of these Corlander intellectuals into the light of the Faith. However, in truth, I see now that this task requires someone with far more patience than I. Someone with a tolerant demeanour and a comforting disposition.

The chaplaincy here is small. When I arrived here I was surprised that it would never fit the entire student body within. In hindsight this should have been my first clue. The school governors here regard my presence as a box-ticking exercise; something to appeal to prospective students, but not a part of the university in its own right.

Moreover, I have been superciliously told that this temple is a "multi-faith" chapel, and that any old heathen can use my building for his own twisted rituals. Fortunately, after I ran the first few heretics out, word got around, and the titan-worshippers and "three goddesses" hippies have stopped coming. By Hades, it's all I can do to stop myself erecting a pyre on the quad!

In short, I ask that you consider someone else for this position. Perhaps a priestess of Hera? Far too many of these feckless Corlanders come here in search of mothering, and I am disinclined to accommodate such pathetic mewling any longer.

Please help me find a different path. Something I can really sink my teeth into - preferably not more horse.

Your humble servant,
Brother François

a very clever and understated built !

The story is very "brother François"

[Ross Fisher]

@Professor Thaum Thanks! I'm only sorry that I can't show you more angles. Sadly, I didn't have enough sloping bricks to complete the roof, and you'd see a gaping hole if I changed the shot in any way.

Great build @Ross Fisher, and great addition to the University of Tiberia. Thanks for adding some Oleander culture to our prestigious institution. And, I must compliment you on your excellent writing as well. 

How big is the chapel, however? The angle which you took the picture at kinda obscures how long it is. Can I get a stud footprint? 

[Ross Fisher]

@Mesabi Thanks! It's 18x12 studs.

Oi, quite a tiny and simple chapel. But that story...

 

Excellent stuff, well done!

[Bodi]

Those Corrish, how dare they make us share a same temple with heathens, you did well chasing them out.

@Drunknok @Bodi thanks! You can see why the Padre doesn't take insults lightly.

An excellent build! Despite its simplicity (or because of) it looks quite beautiful!

I'm gonna let you in on a little trick: re-build it between every photo. I see you have roof parts on both sides; remove them from one side and build a complete roof on the other, then take picture of only the completed side. If you then want a picture from the other side just reverse it.

That would've been a smart idea! Thanks for the tip. 

The idea was based on all those white New England wooden chapels. I'm not sure I managed to make it as pretty as I wanted, but it's a decent go.

Well, bless you too.

@gedren_y Hope you know there's no OOC harm meant.

As a New Englander, you did a good job capturing the style. I saw the resemblance immediately. Clever use of the Épée as the top of the steeple. Good job on the story, it gave me a good chuckle.

@merc thanks! I'm glad to have your approval.
