http://www.stpaulswickford.org/ I hope you will enjoy this slide show made today on a visit to historic St. Paul’s in Wickford. The afternoon winter light was just right for viewing the wonderful contemporary and Victorian stained glass. The sacristy is a real treat, with pale cabinetry and a good deal of natural light. There is lots of great storage and room for tall vases. Be sure to check out the last slide of frontlet storage which is suspended from rods in a pull out drawer access- very clever! A little jewel box of a sacristy. Do visit the website above for the history of the parish. The views of the water out of the windows are breath-taking.
O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts!
My soul hath a desire and a longing to enter into the courts of the Lord

Lovely slide show. I suspect, however, that the slide labeled “Eagle of S. John” is in fact a pelican feeding her young, a wonderful symbol of the Eucharist.

Indeed you are correct Father Bill! I had to use my zoom to zero in on that image just now and the baby birds and a crown of thorns are there at the base of the pelican. I will start wearing my glasses while taking these photos! This symbol is seen in many churches around the diocese, including the cathedral.
