Lovely #church #building at #Oturehua in Central Otago. #Presbyterian [1925]. Pic taken 07 December. New Zealand.

#CentralOtago #NewZealand

Warm cream-coloured church with two pale green doors and the same green under the gables. Pointed-arch windows with outer frame in the pale green, and a cute little round window with green outer frame. The inner frames of all the windows are white. The door frames are also white. There's a steeple with space for a bell, above the main door, and a chimney visible above the roof at the rear. The church sits on a rough lawn with tree shelter behind it, under a summer blue sky with a few white puffy clouds.
Oturehua Presbyterian church on its expansive lawn with mature tree shelter behind and at either end. The old sign board is in the left foreground, it's very faded with text difficult to read. In the right bottom corner is a new white gate across the entrance. Above everything is deep blue sky and a few white clouds.
A closer look at the two doors, pale green and each with large black ornamental hinges. The doors are set within a white door frame.
Wall plaque. The text reads: This stone was laid to the Glory of God by Mrs D. Nicolson April 28th 1925. Architect J.McKnight Builder O.Cambridge "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it."

One of the first times sailing up Saigon river towards Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
Suddenly I see this church appearing on the port side river bank. And I notice the top of the church.
Back in those days I had no internet to help me, so I had to ask around to learn what those symbols really were.

I know it makes me a bit of an outlier as a “Catholic”-leaning #Episcopalian, but I really, deeply love the #BookOfCommonPrayer1979, especially Rite II. It’s the book that brought me to the #Episcopal #Church from my wanderings after a life in #fundamentalism and #evangelicalism. I get why folks want to change things, but I want to express my love for the book and how its words have worked their way into my very being.

A vintage snapshot from the street where I lived growing up in Fort Madison, Iowa. The Mississippi River and Illinois in the distance. Late fall in 1985 (possibly 1984).

The steeple of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (built by German immigrants in 1886) rises above the town.

Looking south (the river is on an east to west jog).  The steeple of a church clearly visible in the town below.   The river is glassy smooth and reflects the wooded bluffs on the Illinois side.

In Belgium, a recent documentary on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has caused shock and soul-searching, reigniting a debate about the way religion is funded in the country.

Unlike in neighbouring France, the Belgian state finances officially recognised religions, with representatives of the Catholic Church receiving the best pay.

But the abuse scandal has seen many people demand a change in the rules.

Church around this time of year was always annoying to me as a kid because they had that sweet mystery box that you weren’t allowed to open, and they didn’t even sing the bangers yet. All they had were candles and letters from Ezekiel to Methuselah or whatever read by Rudy the smelly old guy who lives for this. White people church is the worst for kids. #church

The image shows a roofless grey stone church from an oblique angle from the left centre of the frame back into it on the right. There is an ornate arched doorway on the side of the near corner and tall window openings along the church. There are gravestones in the foreground. The scene is in sunlight.

The church should not be viewed as an appropriate place to receive sex education. Their reputation at the least precludes any opportunity to be part of a rational conversation.

Roman Catholics need to get out of peoples bedrooms. It’s appalling.

If a private school is unable to provide the public curriculum then they shouldn’t receive a cent of public money.

Photograph of a paved path, leading into a small German village in a valley, with a prominent but simple gothic church and steeple. The village is surrounded by rolling hills with patchworks of vineyard fields, their rows leading in successively different directions, and striped by different stages of autumn leaves, specific to the grape varietal.

When #Russians were trying to encircle #kyiv she couldn’t return to her #monastery  

Her father sent her and other nuns to Alexander Nevsky’s Church.

But the Ukrainian nuns did not fully escape the war. Not only did the #israelihamaswar begin, but #Russia hopes to seize ownership of the #church

They pray not only for peace, but for #Ukrainian defenders. 

The site is often referred to as #putin 's favorite Jerusalem church, hearing this, Sister Elizabeth, can’t help but grin...

The #Kremlin has said that obtaining the #church is a top priority. Israel halted the transfer of the church's ownership to #russia leading to tension between the 2 countries, when both are at war.

But it has also meant that the Ukrainian nuns can pray here safely – for now.

Sister Ioanna stands in front of #calvary 

She arrived in #Jerusalem two weeks after Russia invaded in February 2022. She appears cautious when it comes to politics, except for war.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Nuns usually avoid politics.

Yet Ukrainian nuns at #Putin's favorite church in #Jerusalem still pray for their home.

The #Kremlin desperately wants control of the #church -- and to expel the Ukrainians.

Here's why:

Trinity Church, the famous Copley Square building, is the 3rd home to this parish. The 1st two were located in what is now the Downtown Crossing area of Boston. After the Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the 2nd church, construction of the new church took place from 1872 to 1877 and today it is a National Historic Landmark.

I used DxO PhotoLab's split toning setting on this photo I took at dusk tonight of the Christian Scientists' Church in Concord, NH. I'm not quite sure what that setting is for - but I feel like it gave the church a good, ominous look. What do you think?

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Concord, New Hampshire

Shot with my Sony A7RV camera, Tamron 70-180 f/2.8 lens.

#photography #sonyalpha #sonya7rv #NewHampshire #church

Beautiful, old, gothic style, granite church built in 1903. You can see the tall spire and the main building here. The sky looks ominously red-tinted, and the windows are all lit up with a golden light coming through. There are a few bare tree branches crossing the picture as they've mostly lost all of their leaves by now, although the one in front is covered in dead leaves that somehow haven't fallen off yet.

Well then…I think #Skynet would be pleased. #Google too. This is the first time I have heard of an #ArtificialIntelligence #Church. I wonder what the #AI sermons are like‽

Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby stmt yesterday:
"I join with my brother in Christ, Patriarch Theophilos III, in horror and grief that the Orthodox #Church compound in #Gaza was struck last night.

When we met in Jerusalem this morning, the death toll was still unknown and people were still buried under the rubble.

I pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, and for all civilians caught up in this appalling violence."

These Men Say Their #Utah Therapist Touched Them Inappropriately During Sessions Paid for by the #LDS Church

Austin Millet at his home in Oregon. Millet is one of several men who have come forward to say that therapist Scott Owen abused them during sessions paid for with funds from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I used to support #Palestine, but I've come to realize that they are only there for #religious reasons; they could have left by now. The war against them is unjust, #Israel should never have stolen their land, but they did and at some point you have to adapt to reality. Even if it means losing a stupid old #church.

#hamas #politics

UPDATE: this post was taken down because I spoke poorly of Israel, typical.

Just to be absolutely clear; fuck Israel and their supporters.

Fun fact: Church membership in America in 1900 was actually lower than it is today.

A lot of things people think "have always been that way" simply haven't always been that way.
