About Me

I have attended church since I was born. For the first 30 years I was a member of the Methodist Church, first in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then in Hollywood, California. Then I moved across the border to Canada and was stunned to find that there was no Methodist Church. It had amalgamated with the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches in 1925 and become the United Church of Canada. I was then a member of the United Church of Canada in B.C. for 20 years. The next 20 years attended an Anglican Church. It closed in 2010. After trying to attend Sunday worship in every church in North Vancouver-I had photographed them all for the NV Archives-I was a member of the Lutheran Church until 2015. I presently attend an Anglican Church that is a member of ANiC

In the year 2000 I photographed many churches as the "House of God" for my Year 2000 Photography Project, Your House/Our Home. I have continued photographing churches in all the towns I visit and drive through. This blog "Churches On Sundays" will be published each Sunday starting January 1, 2011. It will feature a church photo I have taken, a brief history of the church, and some architectural description.

"I love thy Church, O God!

Her walls before thee stand.

Dear as the apple of thine eye,

And graven on thy hand.

Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,

Her hymns of love and praise."

I Love Thy Kingdom Lord

Hymn by Timothy Dwight 1752-1817
