SSt
Michael's
Episcopal Church -
Bon Air, Virginia
Creative
inspiration can arise in the oddest of places. For a parishioner at St.
Michael’s Episcopal Church in the Richmond
neighborhood of Bon Air, Virginia, inspiration hit inside a Saks Fifth
Avenue department store. Don Spriggs wandered into Saks looking for a
hat one fall day in 2005 and came out with eighteen goats donated to the
church. Goats? Yes, goats – in this case goat shaped mannequins
that had been used by the store as part of a display of cashmere
garments. |

St. Paul's Episcopal Church

For more than one hundred and fifty years, St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church has found a home atop a steep hill in downtown
Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Changes have come to this historic
mountain church through the years, but in 2002 it embarked on a
new journey that includes the visual arts when internationally
known artist Ben Long painted two frescos depicting the story of
St. Paul at the church. |

St. Dunstan's Church of the
Highlands Parish
-
Shoreline, Washington
There are different types of the beauty of holiness. The Florence
Henry Memorial Chapel speaks of a deep traditional artistic glory.
St. Dunstan’s Church has carefully added human works among a natural
glory. The parishioners of St. Dunstan’s Church of the Highlands
Parish receive nurture from both. |

Grace Episcopal Church

take heart that there is a place of quiet and beauty where one can still
enjoy a harmony with nature.
Grace Church still retains the charm of the original country church with
one important addition, a garden built on the Arts and Crafts ideals of
reverence of nature, honesty of design, and respect for traditions of
place. |

St. John's Episcopal Church
- Maury County, Tennessee
In
1864, the Confederate Army of Tennessee marched past St. John’s Episcopal
Church on its way to face Union troops at Franklin, Tennessee. General
Patrick Cleburne, while passing by the church, is said to have remarked,
“This is the most beautiful and peaceful spot I ever beheld . . . It is
almost worth dying to be buried in such a beautiful spot.” |

St. James Episcopal Church
- Wilmington, North Carolina
From
the days the Spanish roamed the coast, through the fight for
independence from the British, and the dark years of the Civil War, the
port city of Wilmington, North Carolina, has been a vital link to the
sea. And standing at its center has been St. James Episcopal Church.
After a failed attack by the Spanish in 1748, they left behind a heavily
damaged ship. On board the ship was discovered a painting of Christ that
would find a new home in St. James Church. |
