Religious Institutions - , ,
Philadelphia is full of stories. Some are bright and bold and occupy the broadest avenues of our minds. Others toil in the shadows, lurking in obscurity, in roads and neighborhoods largely forgotten. Philadelphia's great churches, by and large, fall into the latter category. Hulking behemoths of stone and marble and delicate stained glass, they are the embodiment of living history — of a person, of a family, of an entire community. And they're endangered, beset by the changing of the times and the changing of our neighborhoods. They stand stark guard against the sands of time and progress, but it's a losing battle, and for most their time is running out. And when it does, our artistic, cultural, and historic heritage dies as well. The Philadelphia Church Project seeks to remedy that. One part advocate, one part chronicle, the Project takes stock of these amazing buildings, tells their stories, and spreads them to as wide an audience as possible.
