All Roads Lead to Church II

map-96-church-streetYesterday I realised the plan (actually both plans), I mentioned more than a month ago: Cycling up and down 96 Street (which - for obvious reasons - used to be named Church Street) and taking photos of all the churches. Just to give you an idea about the area: The following 12 buildings are all right and left of the red marked line, which is a distance of only about 1.3km, and as you can see on the map almost all of them actually cluster in the northern half of it. There for example you have Queen of Martyrs Vietnamese Catholic Church on the left side, just opposite the street is Sacred Heart Catholic Church of the First Peoples and again opposite the crossing avenue is Ansgar Danish Lutheran Church. (Actually now that I try to find it I'm not entirely convinced that this map is completely correct, but anyway.) The area as such is very poor (many homeless people) but generally interesting: 96 Street is located just in between Little Italy (95 Street) and Chinatown (97 Street). And here are the churches. (Note that the order is not according to the churches' location on 96 Street but according to their colour and the format of the photo.)

left: Mustard Seed Church (Baptist I suppose)
middle: St Peter Lutheran Church (formerly German, that's the one I've been to for the lecture)
right: Sacred Heart Catholic Church of the First Peoples (the church most to tell about because we - the Hungarian colleague Kinga and I - not only visited it but attended a service, which was incredibly interesting. But that's a separate entry which will hopefully follow soon. - I wonder how often I have already announced reports which I then never managed to finish..)

left: Edmonton Family Worship Centre
right: St John's Evangelical Lutheran Church
1976-Family1968-St-John

left: Queen of Martyrs Vietnamese Catholic Church
middle: St. Stephen the Martyr Anglican Church of Canada
right: Holy Trinity. Canadian Orthodox Church
1940-Queen1950-St-Stephen1946-Trinity

left: Ansgar Danish Lutheran Church,
right: First Christian Reformed Church
1945-Ansgar1951-Reformed

The last two are a little bit outsiders.
left: St Barbara Russo-Greek Catholic Orthodox Church because of it's location. Being the starting point of the red line in the south it is separated from the main Church Street through Jasper Avenue.
right: Mui Kwok Buddhist Temple obviously because it's the only non Christian place of worship in Church Street, located at the northern end of the red line.
