One of these days. And your photos are beautiful. Just remember: you never see my worst.<br /><br />bettyann, you're welcome!<br /><br />evelyn, I'm glad you liked it! I love playing tour guide.<br /><br />morningaj, it sure is, on both counts. ;)<br /><br />judy, that's a very interesting expression. I wonder where it comes from?<br /><br />starman, they like to worship idols. ;)<br /><br />t.b., there's also a State Street (that great street) in Chicago.<br /><br />ron, this church is Episcopalian, too. And Albany was found by the Dutch in 1609, then settled in 1614, so I think it pre-dates Lewes. I'll have to look that up to be sure. :)<br /><br />michael, most of the churches (and cathedrals) in France are of the Catholic variety and they're quite beautiful. Still, I know what you mean. :)wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-39763927333190694822012-05-31T06:37:26.994+02:002012-05-31T06:37:26.994+02:00I love a beautiful church; they are so much more s...I love a beautiful church; they are so much more spiritual than the post Vatican II buildings I know.

However, this is an Episcopal Church located in the center of Lewes, Delaware. As you know (or might not) Lewes is the firs town in the first state in America. Lewes was originally settled by the Dutch in 1631. I don't know how old the church is but I suspect it is about that old too. A couple of months ago while I was taking photos in their beautiful cemetery I noticed that the door was open so I went inside for a peek. Absoultely beautiful. I will post those pictures in a future blog.
