Abstract

The existence of light in the church area should be able to accommodate all the activities of its community at the time of worship and communicate the religious meaning through its psychological function and symbolic function. The lighting in the service room of Cathedral Church Denpasar (CCD) has been designed to accommodate all religious service activities done by its community and convey religious meanings. However, the diversity of people with different socio-cultural backgrounds leads to differences in perceptions between the church and the people. This research has the aim to find out how far the influence of natural light presence in the religious service room is in delivering religious and cultural messages which are thought by its community. This qualitative research is delivered descriptively through evaluative study done by using differential semantic measuring scale. In analysing the meaning of light presence in the service room of CCD, it uses the inductive reasoning method. The research indicates that the concept of Catholic Church and the concept of Balinese Culture have the similar basic understanding about Almighty God as the Creator, the Almighty God regarded as Imanent figure (Personal God) and transcendent (Impersonal God). That’s why, the religious and cultural meanings which are going to be delivered by the party of church can be successfully understood by its community through the natural light presence in the service room of CCD.
