The former Cathedral of All Saints of the Polish National Catholic Church, colloquially referred to as the White Cathedral, it is a prime example of the so-called Polish Cathedral style. Because of the building's high maintenance costs, it was sold in December 1993 and now houses Covenant Presbyterian Church of Chicago.
The congregation that founded All Saints was formed in 1895 from a group of disgruntled former parishioners of St. Hedwig's, only three blocks north. Resentful of the dominance of the Resurrectionist Order and dismayed with the Catholic Church hierarchy in the U.S., the disgruntled anti-Resurrectionist faction broke off from the parish to form an independent church, which became All Saints Cathedral of the Polish National Catholic Church.
Dedicated during the Great Depression in 1931, the church at 2012 W. Dickens Ave. was designed by John G. Steinbach, who later partnered with another local architect to form Worthmann and Steinbach. Gothic architecture clearly differentiates it from he Renaissance style favored by the Resurrectionist Order, representing the more populist nature of the Polish National Catholic Church. Measuring only 63 feet in width, Steinbach's design makes effective use of the site. Built in the form of a cross, its two towers are each 135 feet high, while the center frame reached a height of 54 feet. Set among the intricate carving above the main entrance is the emblem of the Polish National Catholic Church, which depicts a book above which rises the sun of freedom, light and warmth, surrounded to the right by the cross and to the left by the palm.

Alien Covenant is the new movie of the Alien franchise set to hit theatres in 2017. Will it make the series proud?
Today Harriet & I went to IKEA in search of toilet-roll holders. We'd also heard that they had The Ark Of The Covenant somewhere down in storage- a flat-packed Scandinavian version called AARKEH*... (I took a shot like this a couple of weeks back & it reminded me of scenes from two of my favourite movies: 'Alien' and also 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark'...I couldn't resist having another go and improving the symmetry I achieved last time round)

“Sleeping out for the Covenant House is always a humbling experience. The stories and challenges that many youth face every day are unimaginable. We have all had someone help us along our way in life and it’s important that we give back and help others to be successful.”

The CONTRACT of the ARCH……
The ARCH is a word and a structure that features prominently over the millennia……
ARCHES are used in building powerful word constructs and social control structures as well as being used extensively in ARCHitecture and civil engineering.
These power structures are always hierARCHical, often with a single entity at the top known as a monARCH.
The MASONIC control structure has certainly adopted this ARCHitecture and even pretends to be borne out of the stone mason fraternities.
In Gnosticism, ARCHons are the builders of the physical universe. Among the ARCHontics, Ophites, Sethians and in the writings of Nag Hammadi library, the ARCHons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm.
The ARCHers – a long running program through history – not just the BBC….
'SOVEREIGN' - literally means to reign from above.
This is why the MonARCH of a country is referred to as 'Your HIGHNESS'
Then we have
MatriARCHs - a system of society or government ruled by a woman or women
PatriARCHs - a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line.
OligARCHs - government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.
In these long-running and ARCHaic societal control structures we also have:
ARCH dukes and ARCH duchesses
ARCH bishops
ARCH deacons
ARCH druids
ARCHangels
ARCHitects
SquireARCHies - landowners collectively, especially when considered as a class having political or social influence
mARCHioness - a noblewoman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess.
mARCHer lords - A Marcher Lord was a noble appointed by the King of England to guard the border between England and Wales. A Marcher Lord was the English equivalent of a margrave or a marquis before the introduction of the title of "marquess" in Britain
ARCHimandrite - the superior of a large monastery or group of monasteries in the Orthodox Church
ARCHaeology or archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. Archaeology is often considered a branch of socio-cultural anthropology, but archaeologists also draw from biological, geological, and environmental systems through their study of the past
TrierARCH - the title of officers who commanded a trireme in the classical Greek world. In Classical Athens, the title was associated with the trierarchy, one of the public offices or liturgies, which were filled by wealthy citizens for a year
HagiARCHy - government by saints, holy men, or men in holy orders
AutARCHic - having and exercising complete political power and control: absolute, absolutistic, arbitrary, autarchical, autocratic, autocratical, despotic, dictatorial, monocratic, totalitarian, tyrannic, tyrannical, tyrannous
HeptARCHy - a collective name applied to the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England from the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the 5th century until the 8th century consolidation into the four kingdoms of Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex and East Anglia.
TetrARCHy - term adopted to describe the system of government of the ancient Roman Empire instituted by Roman Emperor Diocletian in 293, marking the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the recovery of the Roman Empire
TheARCHy - rule by a god or gods
GynARCHy - rule by women or a woman.
ExARCHate - a Byzantine province governed by an exARCH
AnARCHy - a state of disorder due to lack of social structure
All this history was documented by ARCHivists – with old records being kept on pARCHment
At school we are not taught the true meaning of the ARCHway….
By passing through the ARCHway we may be unaware that we are entering into an agreement or contract where we are to be ruled over.
The ‘CONTRACT of the ARCH’ perhaps……
ARCANUM and ARCANA - mysterious or specialized knowledge, language, or information accessible or possessed only by the initiate.
ARCHES in Modern Culture….
The ARCHERS - a British BBC radio soap opera broadcast since 1951. Having aired over 19,300 episodes, it is the world's longest-running drama.
The ARCHERS is set in the fictional village of AmBRIDGE
ARCHing over us - the first ever flighted birds….
ARCHaeopteryx – a genus of bird-like feathered dinosaurs.
More famous ARCHes…
ARCHimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC)
Considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient history, and one of the greatest of all time.
The Fields Medal for outstanding achievement in mathematics carries a portrait of ARCHimedes, along with a carving illustrating his proof on the sphere and the cylinder.
The inscription around the head of ARCHimedes is a quote attributed to him which reads in Latin: Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri.
'RISE ABOVE ONESELF AND GRASP THE WORLD’.
ARCHimedes, Freemasonry and the Moderns Grand Lodge Constitutions
Frontispiece to the 1723 Edition:
The 1723 edition is well-known for its elaborate frontispiece engraved by John Pine in 1723. It features a classical arcade of John Montagu, the Second Duke of Montagu (Knight of the Garter #532), and the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England (1721-1723), passing the scroll of the "Constitutions" to his 1723 successor, Philip Warton, First Duke of Wharton. Both are attended by their officers. Apollo, god of the sun, charges above in his chariot, symbolizing the meridian height. Behind the gathering is a passageway framed by walls of water - evocative of the parting of the Red Sea.
The 47th proposition of Euclid, the traditional symbol of a past masters of a Masonic lodge, appears in the foreground. Below it, in Greek, is ARCHhimedes' famous exclamation: “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”)
eureka (English) - εύρηκα (Greek)

In Abrahamic Religions, NOAH features as the tenth and last of the pre-Flood patriARCHs.
The story is all about the signs of the Zodiac - the Royal ARCH or ARK….

All Saints, Longstanton, Cambridgeshire
From Willingham I cycled back across the Cambridge Guided Busway into Longstanton, which will in time become the largest of the fen edge villages - the planned 'new village' of Northstowe on the old airbase will have 10,000 houses and facilities for 30,000 people, the largest new settlement built in England since Milton Keynes, and a new dormitory town for Cambridge. Perhaps, then, it was a little lack of foresight which meant that one of the two parish churches in the village was declared redundant in the 1970s. St Michael sulks broodily half a mile to the east, but first I explored the working one, All Saints.
The tower and spire of flint rubble and dressed stone are straight out of the same mould as Landbeach and Chesterton, and the church makes a nice 14th Century trio with neighbouring Over and Willingham. But there is something quieter and more reflective about the architecture here, and this may be because, although the language is still that of the early 14th Century, the church appears to have been reconstructed after the village was burnt in 1349 at the time of the Black Death. The church that heads eastwards of the tower starts conventionally, but then blossoms out into a large, wide, south transept, which houses the Hatton mausoleum. Sir Thomas and Lady Mary Hatton lie inside on a vast double bed, as naked an act of arrogance and privilege that the mid-17th Century can provide.
Hatton, who was MP for Stamford and official surveyor for Queen Henrietta Maria, the consort of Charles I, bought the Hatton estates in 1633, 25 years before his death. An uncontroversial figure, the Parliament On-Line site notes drily that There is little sign that he supported either side during the Civil War, although the parliamentarians accused him of refusing to take the Covenant and only paying taxes under compulsion.
His wife Mary, however, appears to have thought him the very summa cum laude of his age. Her elegiac Latin inscription for him records that Nature rendered him illustrious, and through him the University learned, the Court elegant, the Law just, the Church blessed. A Jacobean knight, a Caroline baronet, he was companion and servant to both kings.
Their characterful children flank their monument, three boys to the north, three girls to the south. Beyond them in the transept is a sepulchrum, the coffins of their descendants walled up in pods each with a memorial inscription on the end, the most recent dating from the mid-19th Century.
There is a beautiful window of about 1920 of Faith, Hope and Charity by Louis Davis in the east end of the north aisle. It depicts the virtues as young girls in his usual semi-erotic style, which may explain why someone has partly blocked it with large vases of dried flowers, a sign of how much more puritanical we have become in the last ninety-odd years. In fact, Davis later lived as man and wife with his muse Edith Webster, who was about 15 years old when he sketched her for these and other windows.
To the west of it is a good late 20th Century window depicting airmen and aircraft from 7 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps and then Royal Air Force, which was based at the nearby Oakington airfield in both World Wars. One panel shows the hangers and standing planes of the airfield, another a plane coming into land above the village of Longstanton, the spire of the church prominent.
Otherwise this is a church full of light thanks to a goodly quantity of clear glass, and if it is not as grand as its near neighbours, this is a likeable church nonetheless.

Various scriptures from the Old World mention of an agreement between a Divine One and a certain unnamed king. The promise was that in order to save his land and his people, the king would have to sacrifice his most beloved. The sacrifice was made, and the king went into a sorrowful slumber yet awakened to the glow of righteous gold. And on that day the Covenant was born.
