St. Louis

Fountain, Forest Park, St. Louis, MO
 Yesterday we began our morning with an hour-long walk in Forest Park.

Then we visited the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis with its Romanesque Architecture.

We admired the interior with its Byzantine styling and a mosaic collection that is said to be the world's largest. Pieces of glass tesserae illustrate numerous religious stories.



In the evening we returned to the America's Center Convention Complex for the evening sessions of the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference.
