Just some traditional church architecture

Speaking of traditional church architecture (see below), here are some photos I took of St. Paul's Church in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. St. Paul's is the parish in which I serve. I, for one, love the architecture (Upjohn and Cram).

Click here to see some photos I took during Lent (you'll notice the purple coverings).

There is a constant stream of people coming in to look at the church whenever the doors are open. It is a fixture in the neighborhood - a traditionally working-class Roman Catholic neighborhood that is gentrifying with bunches of young, yuppy types with strollers. At times, we have "stroller-jams" before and after services. I often hear people describe St. Paul's as "the English Church."

NOTE: Since this Web space is primarily a place for me to dump thoughts and to keep track of things, I'm not being particular about grammar and spelling. I realize this will effect how some people will respond to me and to my thoughts. Feel free to point out mistakes! If this drives you nuts, sorry.
