Description
An indoor gathering shows a crowded church with wooden pews and high ceilings. A man near the center stands and raises his hand, possibly to speak, while others around him remain seated or look in his direction. The room is softly lit with hanging light fixtures and rows of tall, narrow windows along the brick walls. Most attendees appear focused and attentive.
