Suzanne Morgan

Suzanne Morgan, Founder of Sharing Sacred Spaces, is a retired architect and a consultant on liturgical design, who works to bring interreligious understanding to the world's population through the experience of sacred spaces described by their creators and inhabitants.

In 1999, she opened the Upper Room, an interfaith prayer space in Chicago’s financial district. Stunned by the events of 9/11, she decided to address the need for religious literacy by opening Sacred Space International to educate the public about the world’s religions through the nonverbal and universal medium of architecture.

In 2010, in a collaborative effort with the Parliament of the World's Religions, Morgan launched the first Sharing Sacred Spaces pilot program in Chicago. The success of the program expanded the Sharing Sacred Spaces to multiple cities nationally and internationally.

Morgan is currently the Parliament of the World's Religions Sacred Space Ambassador, and devotes her talents and wisdom to running Sharing Sacred Spaces, focusing on interfaith community-building, consulting, and presenting on religious architecture.
