"The progress of faith in those who are being created anew is as follows. Initially such people are without any life, as no life exists in evil or falsity, only in goodness and truth. Afterward they receive life from the Lord through faith. The first form of faith to bring life is a memorized thing - a matter of fact. The next is faith in the intellect - faith truly understood. The last is faith in the heart, which is faith born of love, or saving faith."

From a photography workshop at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, including the opportunity to photograph from locations not normally open to the public, not to photographers. My thanks to the Bodleian for organising this.
Was able to get the rig higher than my previous attempt.

St. Philip's Church, Charleston, S.C.
~
On a beautiful night in May, we had dinner at one of Charleston’s fine restaurants, Tristan, now closed, sadly. (Charleston is noted for being “food obsessed”, an obsession that works out particularly well for us.) Afterward, we wandered around the downtown area looking for interesting photo opportunities.
Although the wind was high that night, the church stood still long enough to capture some interesting frames, with a beautiful ice-ringed moon as a backdrop.
Built in 1836, St. Philip’s Church features an imposing tower designed in the Wren-Gibbs tradition. St. Philip’s is the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina, having been established in 1681.
