Quote:That church is simply amazing!

I never mentioned Boomer, I love Church`s, they are so peaceful places, with some of the best architecture, and I mistakenly thought we had the lead on this, but got to say, your Church looked fantastic mate!

I have been in some church's that just bugged me to no end. And then I have been in churches where they had to drag me out....this was one of those churches. This is one of the most magnificent churches I have been to here in the States. I have been to St. Patricks in Boston, a couple of ones in London, more than a fair share in Chicago...St Patricks Cathedral I think was one, but this one was just so impeccable. I was actually surprised they let me in with my camera, but when I spoke to one of the priests there - they actually encourage visitors to come in and take pictures as long as they are quiet about it. Next trip up I want to get some of their pipe organ - it was under some serious restoration when we were there.

There are several churches around the Minneapolis St Paul area. I'll be armed with my camera!!!

If you ever get to Milwaukee, and haven't checked out St. Josephat Basilica, you have to! It's decorated, floor to ceiling with murals and such. I've been in there bunches of times for church, and never get tired of looking at the place.
The other places you have to see are St. Sava's Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, there's floor to ceiling mosaics(I haven't been in there yet) and then Annuciation Greek Orthodox, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a very striking structure, and the stained glass is interesting.
