New England towns are known for their picturesque church steeples. This new world was built on the promise of freedom of religious beliefs, so it is not a stretch to think that these steeples remain as a testament of that purpose. The church steeple is an important architectural design feature for the church building proper, but it is also a visual testimony to all those who walk within its shadow. When we see a steeple and cross atop a church, pointing gracefully towards Heaven, the church is also lifting Christ up so that all men might be drawn to him and his promise.
Beautiful and so true. However, when we were there, we were sad to find out how few churches there were in our area and how few people attended them. It was quite eye opening.
