CHURCHES

JMB: We went to the bridges - Steve, Ihor, Hans, Cole, Wenyan and me - and lost ourselves in an explosion of churches in this unique part of Calgary. There are churches everywhere. And, with the revitalization of this area at the base of the escarpment to the river, magnificent religious architecture serves as backdrop, beacon and focal elements in this neighborhood.

Hillhurst United Church
1227 Kensington Close NW
Then, with Wenyan we went to Kensington to sketch the Hillhurst United Church that celebrates its 100th year anniversary. It is a jewel - albeit in need of some fixing up - that meshes admirably within the ecclectic fabric of the Hillhurst community, offering vistas, texture and impeccable rythm.

Parkdale Grace Evangelical

There is delightful whimsy in this little church with a "parabolic" roof.
