During this week of Veteran's Day, when we honor the service and sacrifice of those who have worn the military uniforms of this country, I was struck by this story of an English cathedral destroyed during World War II. Religion and Ethics Newsweekly explores how the rebuilding of the Coventry Cathedral included a significant new ministry to promote peace.
The new cathedral is architecturally unorthodox, but it is a fascinating attempt to honor the heritage of the centuries old cathedral, including the wartime destruction. It also is an attempt to use the visual nature of architecture to offer a spiritual lesson about God's transforming power through Jesus Christ. I think it is well-worth 6 minutes to watch.
