Los Angeles Vacation (part 2)
On day two of our vacation, we went to check out Crystal Cathedral*. It's a really pretty location with bible-themed statues and beautiful architecture.
These pictures are of the gift shop area and the "Possibility Thinkers" area. I don't really know what that ministry is all about, but you can probably find out at their website here.
Suffice it to say, this church has a bunch of money. Annie asked the question about whether a church of God should be so extravagent. I suppose there is a little bit of the "rich young prince" ideology that is applicable here, but if the glory generated by this church is redirected toward God, I can't see why it would be a bad thing. It is a bit of a slippery slope, though. Then again, if God were to build a church building, I don't know if it would be humble or grand.
Here is a video clip from day two of our Los Angeles vacation.
As before, this video was actually edited the same day as the events shown, but I didn't upload the video until today.
Enjoy it.
(*corrected from the previously incorrect, "Grace" Cathedral.)

fyi - the first temple that solomon built, according to God's specs, was grand. so much so that when they built the second one after the first was destroyed, all the old guys who remembered the first wept because it was so plain compared to the first.
