Cranberry Morning: You'll Find Me At These Linky Parties

Canterbury Cathedral

"We must learn once again how to hear and to read these buildings. We must train ourselves to perform the hermeneutic that medieval people exercised spontaneously and naturally: understanding the cathedral as an icon of the sacred, a bearer of the mystery of God. One of the serious problems that we face is that for the past thirty years this iconic element has been undervalued. Our church buildings have become largely empty spaces, void of imagery and color, places where the people gather but not places that, themselves, tell a story." - Bishop Robert Barron
