Your keyboard does have a ⛪, a little building with a pointed roof and a cross on top. It does the job for “meet you outside church.” But one church emoji is not much when you think of the mountain chapel, the Romanesque abbey, the Gothic cathedral with its rose window, the white clapboard church on the village green, and the 1960s concrete one whose bell tower you can spot from the ring road.
The word itself works on two levels. Ekklēsia, in Greek, means the assembly, the people called together. With a capital C, the Church is the baptized; with a small c, it is the building where they gather. The two have more in common than you might think: some slightly weary stones, corners full of history, and always someone checking that the heating works before the 10:30 Mass.
We would like designs that show both sides: steeples in different styles, a door wide open, a tiny crowd under one roof, a chapel tucked away in the green. Draw the church of your town or the one closest to your heart, and send it below. If it is still readable at a tiny size, it belongs here.
