Window to heaven.

This beautiful stained-glass window belongs in St Paul's Anglican Church, in Church Street in central Durban.  The original church, build in 1853 burned down, and was re-build in 1909.  It is the oldest church in Durban.  Besides these beautiful windows, it houses memorial tablets recording much of Durban's early history.

Pipes without the bag.

The pipes which make up the organ in Emmanuel Cathedral are situated on the upper level in the back of the church. Since these instruments are not very well suited to the average home, budding organists are always welcome to come in and practice here, in the church, during the week.

Praise and worship.

During a recent Organ tour, we had the opportunity to visit the Emmanuel Cathedral in Durban central.  So many years since I'd been inside this church, and it was no surprise that it still looked exactly as I remember it.
