Inside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City

I was a stone carver there. My work is at the front portal and the south tower. Thanks for the memories!

Very cool! Thank you for watching. It is such a beautiful structure.

It is an Icon and thankyou for showing it to us in the UK

The west front evokes Bourges in France. The structure of the nave arcades & aisles is entirely unique; the east end's elementary forms come as a shock; the central crossing area remains mysterious and full of potentia ...- altogether a fascinating aesthetic experience, exemplifying Frankl's optical form - i.e. the observer’s perception, kinetic experience of moving around the building

Before you judge, remember that there are three very large faiths in the world, they are: Roman Catholic Church, Orthodox Catholic Church and Anglo-Catholic Church (Anglican)

What's with the colors? Thought this was a church. Is it not active as a real Catholic place of worship?

What are the rainbow colours for? Surely not to promote homosexualism?

[@J_Gill]

whats with the flag? surely its not to promote bombing of women and children or torture and mutilation of genitalia?

[@Peter-x2exz]

WOW, look how few chairs they need! Look at all that unused nave space! Most of it seems to be a quasi-museum erected in a desperate attempt to not have it appear to be exactly what it is--a disused, empty building. But they have the rainbow colors on the columns, so I guess it's okay. The Episcopal church is dying, but they have the rainbow colors. Congratulations. This alleged cathedral will never be finished. The Episcopal church will be extinct long before that.

Are you referring to the rainbow lights?
