I don’t go to church all that often. But I’ve just reconnected with some folks over at Episcopal Charities and my parents happen to be in town. What better excuse to go to the 11 am service yesterday at St John the Divine?

It’s well worth the visit, whether or not you actually go to a service there. It’s up near Columbia University, on 112th and Amsterdam. One of the ministers said it was the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world… There was a fire there a few years ago, and they’re still cleaning the place. But it’s still stunning. Like Old World, how-did-they-do-that, awe-inspiring stunning.

Here are some pics:
