They had told us a story in Sunday school that the reason the Churches looked like the upside down ship was that the early settlers would use their ship, turned upside down to make their meeting place/church.
It's not the building being lost that's the tragedy it's all the work the people but into it and the lost opportunity to have saved it that's the real tragedy.
Where were all the Priests and Pastors when this place needed to be saved? I know a Pastor who could only dream of a place like this. To serve God in such a building is truly worth of the Lords grace.
It blows me away that a place like that remained abandoned. God himself must have been proud of this place and nobody ever attempted to revive this place?!
. This place was truly worthy of serving our Lord unlike these new Churches that are so boring and drab inside. If your building a church to praise God give him a building worthy of his praise.
A gift from the men of God went to waist. What a tragic shame
I wander how the carved all of that stone. Nobody out there today could do anything like that. It's something built by MAN unlike the drab architecture to day which is all done on computers by men in three piece suits.
Sad that they demolish beauty to replace it with ugly
BTW Motts I think this would make a fine Wallpaper. Don't you agree?
Oh, thanks, Lynne. You too :-). Just been busy. Always have to come back, though, to see what new stuff was on here. Great as usual. I've told alot of people about this site, and now my MOM loves it :-). She's been a professional photograper for about 14 years now, and was impressed. Anyway, have a good turkey day, everybody!
I agree with you, Diana. I was in the class of '58. I never expected to see it again, but somehow I still expected it to keep on being there. This is a shock and a shame.
