Cathedral of St John (World's Largest Anglican Cathedral) - New York City

[@dalerider3124]

Three football fields in length. One of the finest and one of the largest pipes organs on Earth. On set of 61 pipes are positioned horizontally, far in the back of the Cathedral high above the floor and under the 10,000-piece stained glass Rose Window. They are known as the State Trumpets, patterned after those played by trumpeters of England, but these are voiced on 50-inches of wind pressure, the loudest set of pipes on Earth and easily play solo melodies heard above the thunderous musical roar of the remainder of the Organ's pipes in the front of the cathedral, above the Choir.

@@2468HOTROD That is correct, the building is 601ft in length and at 141 ranks (the 10 new ranks for the nave organ are prepared for and not installed as yet 11/11/19) and albeit my favourite organ in NYC, it's NOT of the largest in the world as right there in NYC is St. Bartholomew's (V/225) and my second favourite in NYC, Riverside Church (V/206 or 208). The brand new Dobson organ at St. Thomas 5th Avenue is as large as the organ at St. John the Divine if not a rank or two larger.

Amazing building, the mix of Romanesque (origins part) and Gothic gives it the appearance of one of the great mediaeval cathedrals of Europe.😊

St. John the Divine is DEFINITELY an impressive church, one I'd love to revisit one of these days.

I lived across the street from that cathedral when I was a kid.

[@lorascelsi8102]

Love it.

It is actually a cathedral of the Episcopal Church, which is affiliated with the Anglican Communion.

[@josephparker646]

aka an Anglican Cathedral. Your argument means absolutely nothing.

[@saulgoodman8823]

It is a satanic temple in disguise

[@DannyEastVillage]

it's an Anglican cathedral just like the English cathedrals are. Just like the cathedrals in Australia or Wales. The. Episcopal Church is not "affiliated" with the Anglican Communion: It's a part of it.

@@saulgoodman8823, why is "a satanic temple in disguise"? Can you explain-me?

I've savored every visit to this illustrious edifice to God.

[@josephparker646]

Cathedral of St John is the largest Anglican(as in religious movement) Cathedral in the world. Its construction started in 1892 and it is still unfinished. It is nicknamed as St John the Unfinished :)) The Cathedral hosts concerts and musical performances. For more about New York: [some editing of description is suggested for clarification.]

Anglicanism is a catholicism without Pope and liberal in morals issues but full of beatiful.

No, you mean Hugh church. We are Low church Protestants.

Why "divine" when John was "human"?

[@StoreeDenson]

It is named St.John Divine because the cathedral was dedicated to St John who written the book of Revelation or seeing the Divine.

Can you believe that jon-tron lives here. SMH my head

[@dalerider3124]

Ironic to see not one but two RED electric traffic signals ON to keep traffic from entering the west doors of the Cathedral.

[@liannebedard5521]

Aw, grow up and be an adult Catholic. St. Patrick’s is in no threat from the Anglican neighbors…and it’s an amazing structure.

[@pav3359]

sad thing is by the time it's finished (if it ever is) there won't be much of an Episcopal Church to serve.

[@n40tom]

I love all the old architecture of these massive Gothic churches. But What a total waste of money and resources . A house of God with nobody home.

[@Barefoot12]

I cried as notre dame burned and said the same thing. These are monuments to humans . So enjoy them while they are here. Empty houses.

[@keithsmith3386]

I'm sorry, but being a former Anglican ( and now R Catholic ), I find this is so hypocritical. It's all just a knock off game.

[@MrJ567]

Be nice if they'd ever finish building the damn thing.
