Arlington Street Church - Boston

My sister Susan took us to the Arlington Street Church, Unitarian Universalist, in downtown Boston. The church was constructed between 1859 and 1861. Click here for a history of the congregation which dates its beginnings to 1729. 

Kim Crawford Harvie, the senior minister at the church, is the person who introduced Susan's son and daughter-in-law to each other and ordained Susan's daughter-in-law.

These tall planks are on both sides of the choir loft and contain the 10 Commandments and the Lord's Prayer. They were in the congregation's Federal Street Church and brought to Arlington Street Church when the building was completed. source

 14 Tiffany windows add great beauty to the sanctuary. The colors were very vivid even late afternoon on a cloudy day. They must be glorious on a sunny day. Read more here. Click on an image for a larger photo. 

 The sanctuary is full of beautiful details. 

The door with the arched top was off the choir loft. 

The iron grate was on the floor in the main part of the sanctuary.

The woodwork on this pulpit is beautiful
