Two Churches

This is St. Timothy's Presbyterian Church. This can be found in the Gloucester area along Alta Vista Drive. The steep roof reminds me very much of another Presbyterian church my maternal grandparents attended in Guelph.


This, meanwhile, is St. Peter's Lutheran Church taken at night. I've featured the church before during Doors Open events. It's downtown, one of two churches occupying Cathedral Hill.

  1. Beautiful churches, William! I hope you get to photograph the Church of Christ at 1515 Chomley Crescent one day, I would love to see it. I went there decades ago. :)

  2. Two very different styles of churches...you might say night and day.

  3. They couldn't be more different William. I love that Presbyterian churches are so down to earth, they are there to do a job and don't need the adornments!

  4. Different, but on the other hand, they both have that A-frame, pointed roof.

  9. That steep roof should be good when the snow comes.

  10. Both churches are very attractive. I wonder if I know the pastor of the Lutheran Church.

  12. @Eileen: thanks!

    @Sharon: I would think so!

    @Lowell: that would be a small world.

    @Lois: thank you.

    @Cloudia: definitely!

  14. The church in your first photos is surprising. It looks very big too.

  15. That second shot reminds me of a pyramid. :-)

  16. @Norma: thanks!

    @Tamago: I suspect it's a design that might date back to the 50s.

    @Marleen: probably the roof is what gives it quite a big size. I get the feeling St. Timothy's probably occupies the same, or slightly bigger, area as St. Peter's.

    @Revrunner: it does to me too.

    @RedPat: thank you. I took the night shots while coming back from the finale of La Machine.

  21. Beautiful night shots William! I too love the older one best!

  22. I am an unbeliever, as is my wife. But we both get awestruck visiting churches. All praise to the great Buddha for allowing them. (ICYDGI, that's a joke.)

  23. They are both beautiful churches even though the buildings look so different.
