Nautilus Design On St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral In Boston Sparks Controversy
Huffington Post ^
Posted on 02/10/2014 8:24:34 PM PST by Epistolizer
The pediment of The Cathedral Church Of St. Paul in Boston has stood empty for 190 years, as the builders of the impressive Greek Revival structure ran out of money during the initial construction phase. It was finally completed in May of 2013, but since then it's come under fire for its unusual design, which features a backlit nautilus sculpture.

If that a shamed of the Christian faith, might as well close up shop and go home.

No worries here, episcopalians left Christianity a while back.

You beat me to it.
My whole family is from the Episcopalian church. My uncle is a Bishop of a major US city. I left it, many years later I got saved many years later after I heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and was invited to respond to it.

His post was in response to a video that was recently put online by the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts that explained the story of how the nautilus pediment design came to be. In it, the artist Donald Lipski explained that "I was trying to think of a symbol or an image that would be spiritual but not be religious." What utter Hubris

They hired a secular idiot artiste and ended up with just what they asked for. Squat. But as one commenter reminded us, the Chief Priestess Shori was an expert on cephalopods, ie, squids and octopuses; and yes, nautiluses fit in that family. Too bad her squidness had no grounding in Christian theology before being "elected" to the high office of Pisky Priestess.

Episcopalians are not Christians. They’re just becoming more open about it.

There is more Christianity in Mormonism than Epsicopalianism.

I was senior warden of a very old (1832) Episcopal church in Tennessee back in the early 80s.
I guess it was just too good for the homosexuals and other assorted leftist to pass up.
It is so sad what became of the once great denomination.
I now attend the Catholic church.

I left my diocese in 1997, when my diocese said we had to embrace homosexuality to get more people into it. My church has lost more than 2/3 of its members and attenders since then, and most of the remaining folks are on life support and don’t have enough strength to object to the homosexuals that now control the place and divert the endowment to use for promoting the homosexual agenda.

Mormonism is just a deception. Episcopalianism is Satanic.
To: BlueDragon
The official line expounded upon by Bishopess Schori is that you don't need to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. You can believe in Buddha, Allah, a bunch of Hindu gods, most any old "spiritual" pathway, actually. At least the Mormons confess Jesus as the Son of God, more than the Episcopal Church of the United States will do.

"everyone I now refer to it as St. Paul's Fish House & Raw Bar since it looks more like the entrance to a fancy seafood restaurant than a cathedral." Father Jody Howard, a priest in Tennessee, agreed, commenting, "I sort of like the plain nautilus on the blue background. I'd especially like it if it were temporary... But the backlighting? It has Joe's Crab Shack written all over it..." Ridicule the e-pals, they deserve it!

Pro Sodomite, Pro Abortion...the Bible says leaders should be men.
Screw the Bible. My rector told us about “Blessed Ambiguity”, they now say screw that too.

I've been thinking about that one recently.
How to get through to people like that? They're a lot like liberal Democrats in their thinking. Oh, wait...they are liberal Democrats.
It's like they need to go back and start all over somewhere nearer the beginnings.

so...you seem to be telling me the Schori is leading them all down the plastic primrose (hey, we have some real ones too!) universalist unitarian-like path (jesus on second fiddle, second row, on the left) celebration of all that be wondrous.
hmmm.

Their High Priestess Schori directed her first prayers as their leader to “Mother Jesus.”
