Christ Church college, Oxford. This is leaving the Peckwater Quadrangle (also known as Peck) and entering the Great Quadrangle (also known as Tom Quad). The Great Quadrangle was actually began already by Thomas Wolsey (dead 1530) who had an idea of turning it into a proper cloister - but it was not finished until the 17th century.
Christ Church, Melaka was constructed from 1741 to 1753. This is the original building with the exception that the porch and vestry were added in the mid 1800s. The Pink color was added in 1911, it was originally painted white. Built by Dutch settlers the church was later re-purposed as an Anglican church, which it remains as today. The British East India Company too possession of Melaka in 1838 and the name Christ Church was given to the building when it was consecrated by clergy from the Church of England. The bell, inscribed with 1698, suggests that it was used for another purpose before being installed here.

The Christ figure from the Last Supper statue ensemble at the Goldwell Open Air Museum. The ghostly life-sized figures were created in 1984 by Charles Szukalski. He draped burlap soaked in plaster over live models posed as in the Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci. When the plaster set, the models slipped out. Then the figures were coated in fiberglass. Remarkably, the sculptures still stand in the desert after 38 years.
Happy Slider Sunday!
Built of native sandstone by skilled English stone masons, this early Anglican Church was erected to meet the spiritual needs of a group of people who came over from England in the 1830’s to settle the prairies of western Peoria county here in Illinois. One of the oldest churches in the area, there are sister churches to this one in Brimfield and Robin’s Nest (Jubilee). With Bishop Philander Chase nearby and a seminary for training young ministers established at Robin’s Nest, it looked like there was a fair chance that the western Peoria county prairie would be modeled after Yorkshire England. In Southern Illinois at a place called Albion, there was already an earlier successful English prairie settlement started by a man named George Flowers. At this early date the prairies of Illinois were completely up for grabs because they were considered undesirable for settlement due to a shortage of available wood for building housing and for heating and cooking. The English with their extensive knowledge of building with stone and heating with coal which is very abundant in Illinois were undeterred by the prairie conditions which caused American settlers to shun the prairies in their search for inhabitable lands. To this day a glance at the telephone book will reveal a large number of English surnames among the local population. These people came to stay and are an important part of the state’s establishment though they seem to be largely forgotten in discussions of early Illinois settlement. They were educated, skilled, and religiously devout.

My old iPhone malfunctioned. So, I got a new phone. It appears sluggish or perhaps I do not know what I am doing, still learning. Here is a photo taken whilst being a tourist in the city a few days ago.

Sacre Coeur Basilica, Paris
The mosaic over the choir, entitled The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the largest and most important work of art in the church. It was created by Luc-Olivier Merson, H. M. Magne and R. Martin, and was dedicated in 1923. The mosaic is composed of 25,000 enamelled and gilded pieces of ceramic, and covers 475 square meters, making it one of the largest mosaics in the world.
The central figure is Jesus Christ, dressed in white, with open arms offering his heart, decorated with gold. He is joined by his mother, the Virgin Mary, and by the Archangel Michael, the protector of the church and of France. At his feet, kneeling, is Saint Joan of Arc offering him a crown. A figure of Pope Leo XIII offers a globe to Christ, symbolising the world.

Au centre le linteau figurent en bas-relief, un Christ bénissant entouré d’une gloire ovale soutenue par deux anges qui posent leur pied sur une petite colonnette. Le Christ et la gloire sont abrités sous un dais en forme de mitre. De chaque côté des anges, cinq apôtres sont sous de petites arcades. Saint-Pierre est à gauche avec sa clé, Saint-Paul est à droite.
Built 1860 on Sainte Catherine in Montreal. This is my favourite church in Montreal. It takes my breath away every time I see it.<3 View it large and use the magnifier, see every gargoyle and every stone.
Christ Church in the Wiltshire village of Worton, near Devizes, was built in 1841; before that villagers had to walk around 2 km into Potterne to go to Church, and the nearby Methodist Chapel at Marston was much closer. The site of the church is on the south side of the village to enable it to serve Marston as well as Worton. The two villages today have a total population of around 800. The Wesleyan Chapel a few hundred metres away and now disused, was completed in 1848 despite being an easy stroll from Marston. The 1840s obviously witnessed a bit of an Anglican-vs-Methodist ecclesiastical arms race in these villages!
This is a simple but handsome preaching box with box pews; the pulpit may be 18th Century, and therefore older than the church. It was built to designs of T.H. Wyatt, in ashlar blocks, with an octagonal stone bellcote. Christ Church is Grade II listed. Pevsner described its windows as "oddly tall, slim".

I had just come out of the Cathedral on to the quadrangle which is beautiful.
The Great Quadrangle, more popularly known as Tom Quad, is one of the quadrangles of Christ Church, Oxford, England. It is the largest college quad in Oxford, measuring 264 by 261 feet. Although it was begun by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525–1529, he was unable to complete it before his fall from power.
Wolsey planned a cloister, but only the starts of the arches on the walls, and of the supports jutting into the lawn were done; these can still be seen around the quadrangle. The main entrance was also left incomplete, and it is not known how the gatehouse was planned to look. After some 150 years, the gatehouse was completed in 1681–1682 with Tom Tower, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, when John Fell was Dean. A statue of Queen Anne on Tom Tower overlooks the main entrance to the Quad.[1] The quad is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.[2]

The Church of England community first began meeting in Longford in 1826 at the Woolmers and Brickendon Chapels. In much the same way as the Hadspen community worshipped in the chapel at Entally House. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53501457598/in/dateposted/
The foundation stone for this building was laid by Lt Governor, Sir John Franklin, in March 1839. Franklin, as some may be aware, went on to fame and tragedy as the commander of the search for the Northwest Passage in which his ship disappeared in the Arctic ice for over 100 years.
This is a beautiful English style church building surrounded by park land. It also has a very historic graveyard out the back (as I showed you in The Road to Longford slideshow)..
Christ Church is a Grade II* listed church in Cricklade Street in Swindon's Old Town district. It was built in 1851 to a design by George Gilbert Scott. It has a peal of ten bells memorialised in poetry by Sir John Betjeman:
Now birth and death reminding bells ring clear,
Loud under 'planes and over changing gear.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

The Christ figure in the Goldwell Outdoor Sculpture park near Rhyolite. Charles Albert Szukalski constructed the figures of the Last Supper in 1984. The technique required a live model to be wrapped in protective plastic, then draped with muslin soaked in wet plaster. After the plaster set, the model slipped out leaving the rigid shroud that surrounded him. Szukalski then coated the plaster with fiber glass and resin. Finally, the sculpture was painted matte white.
