説明 | Though the National Cathedral is run by the Episcopalians, its charter is inter-denominational and serves as "A National House of Prayer for All People". It operates entirely from private donations and is not funded by the government or national churches. It is the most beautiful church I have personally seen so far. Designed by Fredrick Bodley, Henry Vaughan and Philip Frohman, construction started in 1907 and ended in 1990. The idea of the National Cathedral is much older - going back to when President George Washington commissioned Major Pierre l’Enfant to design an overall plan for the future seat of government. Major l’Enfant’s plan included church, “intended for national purposes ... and assigned to the special use of no particular Sect or denomination, but equally open to all.”The National Cathedral's website has its own photo gallery. For further details, see their history page. Taken with a tripod + sigma 28-90mm lens.I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray inyour church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. -Kahlil Gibran |
