The Church Grown from Trees

[casper]

The love of trees and churches Barry Cox has decided to consolidate into one project, built from trees that grow in his possession an unusual church. Construction of the church lasted for four years.

Wow, this is really beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing!

There's a quote - it might be from Bernhard of Clairveaux, but I'm not sure - which goes something like this, I think: The trees are my church! As I remember, that quote has been displayed on a poster, which also depicted the kind of labyrinth, which is included in the photos of the article you linked to.

For me, this quote (if it goes that way) and the church resonate a lot: I almost always felt closer to god/DCM in the forests or in any proximity of many trees than in a conventional church made from stone (especially when a service was going on there).

I'd have to agree. I would feel more at one with god, immersed in nature than any four walls.

Lovely picture, thank you for sharing casper!

Ah, I see. The guy's quite right on this: especially when walking around nature with your eyes open. Thanks for digging this out, Palinurus :)
