I'd also like to see St Clement's and St Mark's churches, but that's
just me...and Philadelphia Cathedral as well. And the New Church
cathedral in Bryn Athyn.
Personal thoughts.
St. Clement's has nice windows, and a
spectacular sanctuary, but not much else except for it's Tridentine in
English Liturgy. Saint Mark's is a wonderful, darkish gothic revival,
with that gorgeous silver chapel altarpiece.
I spent much of a day a few years ago photographing the Swedenborgian
Cathedral. It's a grand collegiate gothic with excellent windows. The
sanctuary is rather odd by Anglican standards with the four canlesticks,
and open Bible. There's no altar. They have a new pipe organ.
