A Nod Outside the Church
A commenter just mentioned Salem Lutheran, in the Vistula Historic District. It's a very nice building, with an uncommonly high spire. Not that spires are common around here, anyway.
No use cluttering things up with posts for events that have taken place (great concert, though!). But I digress ... I'm going to head down there some Sunday morning, and take some photos (and throw a few $ in the plate). Jeffrey, I'll email to you privately any decent photos of the place.

This is a shot in the dark, but is this site done by the same man as the now-missing New Roving Medievalist?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, with good help on this one. Have a look at THIS.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you for posting this photo! Isn't that spire incredible?! What a challenge-but you did a beautiful job!

Thank you. Judging by the picture in the newspaper story, they have a wonderful altar. And statues!
ReplyDeleteYes - statues! I can think of at least three other Lutheran churches in the area that use statues. And one with carved wooden icons in the chancel ...
