Episcopal Church in Grand Tetons Nat’l Park

This was a beautiful little Episcopal chapel in the Grand Teton National Park, the Chapel of the Transfiguration.  There was a plaque with a great explanation of why they named it that, describing how mountains have been portrayed in scripture, from Abraham and Moses to Jesus’ transfiguration.  So they built their chapel with the mountains in the window behind the altar.  Hopefully the progression of images shows the original image from 1925, then mine from the outside moving in.  Just awesome!

The Prayerful Soldier

Valley Forge, Episcopal ChurchAuthor:  Jim Zaenglein

I travel a bit and often take pics of Episcopal Churches and chapels that I’d like to share with those that might be interested.  I went to a chapel in Valley Forge, PA a few weeks ago and saw the awesome memorial chapel there.  The woodwork and ironwork throughout was incredible.  It was a little weird how they mixed the military and war theme with religion, but as a former soldier, I was moved by it.
