Who was the philosopher who overlooked the skyline of a city of his time and then remarked that 150 steeples cannot all be wrong? Was it Gottfried Leibniz or John Locke? I don’t know, but the story was brought up by Prof. Adam Heinrich who sat next to me at the retirement dinner for Bruce Hamilton. Here, by contrast, is a much more earthly picture, not of our steeple but of the tower of the church house. A steeple is supposed to point towards the glory of the eternal realm of the heavens. Yet our picture here was taken from the profane vantage point of the upper level of the Wolfson parking deck. I thought you might like it anyway, since it provides proof of the steady progress our preservation project makes. We are bringing God’s House back to order. May later philosophers theorize over what this might mean!
