I am reading about the tradition In black Christianity for churches to have backless pews. That allowed for "room to pray" as well as being less costly to make.
Azusa Street's pews were made by placing redwood planks across nail kegs, old boxes, and any odd chair that could be found.
It originally had a seating capacity of 100 people. Within months more than ten times that amount were flooding the building daily.
