    Houston's Lakewood Church

    When you've got 30,000 people coming by for Sunday church service, an ordinary pulpit just won't do. In Houston, pastor Joel Osteen moved the Lakewood Church into the Compaq Center, a former NBA stadium, to accommodate throngs of parishioners. Three giant video screens help deliver the sermon to the far corners of the cavernous church, with an HDTV upgrade on the way. Strip lights behind the pulpit use a range of tungsten halogen lamps to create different lighting effects.
