Labyrinth at Pinnacle Presbyterian Church

At Pinnacle Presbyterian Church in north Scottsdale, a permanent outdoor labyrinth sits among the church's desert-landscape grounds, walked in the congregation's programs. The Labyrinth Locator's record lists it as Classical; installed January 2013.

Every labyrinth is a walking practice, not a puzzle: a single path winds to a center and back out, and the walk is done slowly, as prayer or meditation. The pattern descends from the medieval pavement labyrinth at Chartres, and the modern urban revival began in the 1990s when Lauren Artress brought replicas of that path to American congregations and public grounds through Veriditas and the Labyrinth Society, whose World-Wide Labyrinth Locator now catalogs thousands. There is no branching and no trick to the path; walkers of every religion and none use it.
