Unfortunately, Saint Nektarios Orthodox Church is not a 1:1 scale replica or a perfectly accurate reproduction, but that said, it is a very beautiful church and it does look a lot like Hagia Sophia. It does have pews in the nave and an iconostasis and modern setup, but it also has galleries like the original. I want to see it and take zillions of digital photos and make sweet videos.
I think it is roughly the size of Saint George Cathedral, but I\'m not sure. The pictures I\'ve seen on the wibsite are very nice. I can\'t wait to go to this place. I\'ve been talking about it for a while.
Also, I have heard from Metropolitan Alexios that the Metropolis is building a church/chapel in the future at the Diakonia Center that will be a little smaller than Saint Nektarios, but otherwise a more accurate reproduction. I haven\'t seen drawings or anyhting yet, but I\'ve heard that a lot of money has been donated and an architect has been hired to design the structure.
