Last week, our own Rev. Dr. Clyde Steckel gave a second-hour presentation on the architecture of First Church.  By popular demand, here are the slides he showed.  Click on each picture to enlarge.  Unfortunately at this time I don’t have the captions, but they are forthcoming!

At Brad Schumann’s suggestion, we also showed an incredible 8mm silent film of the steeple being taken down in 1967 and replaced in 1971 (video courtesy of Pete Norum).  Watch below, and be warned, it takes a little while for the action to start:

Over 850 concerned Minnesotans from Protestant-Jewish-Muslim-Catholic faith backgrounds.  A lovely group of First Churchers was among them.  This slideshow captures just some of us… [slideshow]

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this day happen!
