Freiburg Cathedral I
It was a grey Saturday when we were in Freiburg last month, but we visited the cathedral anyway. I’m not sure if that was the right move. Certainly the building is impressive from a distance, and just as impressive up close, even surrounded by the stalls of the Saturday farmers’ market. Inside though it felt […]
The Church Down The Street
Went wandering through downtown Sulzburg last week. There’s an apartment there I wanted to look at, a possible place to live for the next few years, so it seemed to make sense to check out what the town is like. I hesitate to use the word quaint, but it did seem like the quintessential German […]
Tyndale Chapel – II
A photo essay today, because, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe more, in which case you are getting a bonus today. These pictures are a continuation of yesterday’s post.
Tyndale Chapel – I
I visited Tyndale Seminary a few times around the turn of the century (seems weird to say that – it always used to mean the turn of the 20th not 21st century), and remember the building as being functional and somewhat pleasing to the eye, but not spectacular. Then they moved. Somehow I wasn’t paying […]
The Guards’ Chapel – II
I had my say yesterday about this church. Today some extra pictures.
Stockholm Cathedral
When I first saw Stockholm Cathedral it was closed to tourists. A church service was in progress, and it makes sense they wouldn’t want people wandering through. I thought about joining in worship, but it seemed rude to be late. So I headed off in the direction of the Royal Palace. By the time I […]
A Tale of Two Churches
My friend Paul had a post earlier this week about Christmas Day 2022. That’s the next time the holiday falls on a Sunday. Some churches, for what seemed to be good reasons I am sure, cancel their services when December 25 is a Sunday. Paul’s words got me to thinking, and I wrote this post […]
Another Country Church
The sign read “Baptist Church” and the arrow pointed down the road, one I had never been down before. I wondered at the designation. My family roots are Baptist (among other things) and I had never heard of a Baptist Church being planted in the wilds of Renfrew County, or at least this part of […]
I Could Look It Up…
…but I am not going to. It is Sunday, and I thought a photo essay would be appropriate today. And given that it is Sunday it seemed appropriate to make the post photos from a church I have visited. Problem is, I don’t know what church is in these pictures. In 2009, to celebrate out […]
The Atheist – I
She was back in the news again. I’ve tried to ignore the story, but maybe it is time to raise the questions. Gretta Vosper is a minister with the United Church of Canada, the biggest Christian denomination in the country. The United Church, as its name implies, was created in the 1925 merger of three […]
