“The Sea Ranch was a source of refreshment … the beauty of the natural setting, the trees, meadows, and wildlife, were almost all we needed … but we felt that a spiritual focal point was missing. We wanted to give that to the community. We knew of James Hubbell’s work, and believed that he would design a chapel that would be compatible with the natural surroundings. The beauty of the Chapel exceeded our dreams! It is a place that seems to stimulate the imagination … one sees with ‘new eyes’ natural materials used in dramatic combinations to create a work of art.”
