St. Paul’s Architectural Language
Posted by Kimberly Allen
Remember this cover story in Style Weekly about St. Paul's parishioner and expert architectural historian Calder Loth? Calder is the best and we're excited to announce a new three-lecture Wednesday evening class taught by Calder about the architecture of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
February 24, March 3 & March 10
7:00 - 8:00 pm in the Norwood Room
Why does our church look the way it does? Why would St. Paul feel at home here? What role did the ancient poet Callimachus play in the appearance of our building? What does the Horologion of Andronicus have to do with us?
Calder Loth will reveal the stories and meanings behind the forms and decorations we see in our church every day during this special new series.
This class is free, but space is limited to 30 people. Please sign up as soon as possible if you plan to attend. If you register, but then cannot make it, please let us know so that we may offer your seat to someone else.
Questions? Contact Leslie Choplin, St. Paul's Minister of Christian Formation, at lchoplin@stpauls-episcopal.org or (804) 545-5418.
