What is a church?
Definition: A church building, often simply called a church, is a building used for religious
activities, particularly worship services. The term in its architectural sense is most often used
by Christians to refer to their religious buildings; they can be used by other religions. [1] In
traditional Christian architecture, the church is often arranged in the shape of a Christian cross.

What is a temple?
Definition: A temple (from the Latin word templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual
activities such as prayer and sacrifice. A templum constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a
priest, or augur.[1] It has the same root as the word "template," a plan in preparation of the building
that was marked out on the ground by the augur. Templa also became associated with the dwelling
places of a god or gods. Despite the specific set of meanings associated with the religion of

the ancient Rome, the word has now become quite widely used to describe a house of worship for
any number of religions and is even used for time periods prior to the Romans.

What is a Cathedral?
Definition: The word cathedral is derived from the Greek word cathedra ("seat" or "chair"), and
refers to the presence and prominence of the bishop's or archbishop's chair or throne, raised above
both clergy and laity, and originally located facing the congregation from behind theHigh Altar. In the
ancient world the chair, on a raised dais, was the distinctive mark of a teacher or rhetor and thus
symbolises the bishop's role as teacher. A raised throne within a basilican hall was also definitive for
a Late Antique presiding magistrate; and so the cathedra also symbolises the bishop's role in
governing his diocese.

or meetings of the members of an organization such as a school, church, or deliberative assembly.

An example of the last case is the Assembly Hall (Washington, Mississippi) where the general
assembly of the state of Mississippi was held. Some Christian denominations call their meeting
places or places of worship assembly halls, for example the Salt Lake Assembly Hall. Elders and
ministers of Presbyterian churches gather in assembly halls for their general assembly, such as in
the General Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland

What is a tent?

Definition: A tent revival is a gathering of Christian worshipers in a tent erected specifically


for revival meetings, healing crusades, and church rallies. Tent revivals have had both local and
national ministries.
The tent revival is a development of the old camp meetings in which religious people gathered to
hear a preacher. In the continental United States, tent revivals have ranged from small, locally based
tents holding perhaps a hundred to large organizations with a fleet of trucks and tents able to hold
thousands.
Most tent revivals in the U.S. have been held by Pentecostal or Holiness Christians who not only
adhered to evangelicalism but believed in speaking in tongues (glossolalia), healing the chronically
ill, and in some cases resurrecting the dead. As radio and television began to play an increasingly
important part in American culture, some preachers such as Oral Roberts, a very successful tent
revivalist, made the transition to these media. Such pioneers were the early televangelists. Other
evangelists who have been noted for their continued use of tents in crusades include David Terrell,
