Gene Hopkins commented to St Paul’s Cathedral:
Sir Christopher Wren undertook the rebuilding of this spectacular cathedral, in ruins, after the great London fire in the 17th century. It is said that “at the worst of times he did his best work”. Indeed after the great fire the times then were not at all good. It was wonderful to visit St. Pauls in 1987, partake of the mass offered to all that came, climb to the top of the dome, view the beautiful wonders of this spriritual place, and lookout over the sites of London. St. Pauls is a bright place to enjoy unlike Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris which is rather dark and dreary but is also a great wonder of architectural worship to visit. The Jesuit Church on the left river in Lucerne Switzerland is an outstanding 17th century baroque church to visit. Maybe we can all follow the example that Sir Christopher Wren set with his inspiration, foresight, vision, and dedication of his life to also have been the architect of another 50 cathedrals and places of worship throughout Europe. ***In the current hard times we are now experiencing may we do the very best we can.
