Church of the week


This week's church is St. Columbia Anglican church, out at Buffalo Pound Saskatchewan. Standing alone with a few trees and a grave yard, St. Columbia is the quintessntial Anglican church. The simplicity, tastefulness and practical minimilism of the church reflects everything it means, to me anyways, to be an Anglican. God is far more apparent in the clean simple lines of a prairie church than the spiralling and arched masonry of any downtown cathedral.


When I visited Buffalo Pound, I failed to take any pictures of the graveyard. However I did find a website devoted to St. Columbia's graveyard. Imagine the stories behind these old cracked headstones.
