Gracious God, we offer thanks for the vision of Ralph Adams Cram, John LaFarge and Richard Upjohn, whose harmonious revival of the Gothic enriched our churches with a sacramental understanding of reality in the face of secular materialism; and we pray that we may honor thy gifts of the beauty of holiness given through them, for the glory of Jesus Christ; who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

We could sure use them today. Most of the current crop of new churches are ghastly things. The design for the new St. Peter’s Anglican in Tallahassee is a noteworthy exception. God grant that they get it built. December 16, 2:26 pm | [comment link] |

I did not know this feast day, provisional or not, existed. Thank you!
