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.”
