Gracious God, we offer thanks for the vision of Ralph Adams Cram, John LaFarge and Richard Upjohn, whose harmonious revival of the Gothic enriched our churches with a sacramental understanding of reality in the face of secular materialism; and we pray that we may honor thy gifts of the beauty of holiness given through them, for the glory of Jesus Christ; who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Richard Upjohn, born on this day in 1802, was the visionary behind St. Paul’s Cathedral in downtown Buffalo. At 275-feet, it’s also the city’s tallest religious structure.#TravelBUF pic.twitter.com/2Q7xBnDdHi
