St. Maximos' Hut

The Miracle of Churches
I was in Illinois to give a talk at the University of Illinois law school (one of the top spots for law and philosophy, law and economics, and lots more - a really impressive school) and spotted a local Orthodox church. I didn't get to visit the church, but did visit their website, which had a nice history of the local church that included the following:


A church is a sacred building, constructed of earthly materials by human hands. Over nearly fifty years since the seed was planted, men and women whose names are too numerous to mention have contributed their time, their talents, their treasure. But even devout men and women create nothing by themselves. The Three Hierarchs Church is a miracle. Its inspiration was divine; the hands and hearts of the men and women who laid its bricks and adorned its interior were guided by the Holy Spirit.


The church website is here. Click info to find the full text from which the above is taken.

And while you are visiting church websites, check out St. Innocent's, created by our own Fr. Michael Butler - an exceptional site (but then I expect no less from him).

And also the very nice OCA website here.
