Description of Pictures: Someone mentioned to me that a church closer to the river had, in a split decision, decided to relocate by the state capitol. It was a contentious decision though with a bunch of the parishioners sticking to the existing church. One of them became the head of education in New York and decided to build a large education building right next to the new cathedral, to make sure that no one would be able to see it from the capitol.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Cathedral of All Saints
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cathedral of All Saints is a major historic cathedral in Albany, New York and the Episcopal See of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany and the Episcopal Bishop of Albany. It was the first Cathedral church in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America built expressly as a such, rather than a local parish serving as the church of a bishop, and for that reason, is also called the Pioneer Cathedral. It is a historic building, in the Gothic style of architecture, dedicated in 1888, and still unfinished. It is on several registers of historic properties, and is in the Downtown Albany historic district.

History:

The Cathedral of All Saints was dedicated in 1888. Until that time, smaller Episcopal churches served as seats of the bishop, and the "cathedral idea" -- the concept that a bishops' main church is more than merely a parish church, but the "Mother church" -- had not yet taken hold in the United States. ...

Architecture:

Famous 19th Century architect H. H. Richardson submitted a Romanesque Revival design for the Cathedral, but he lost out to then-unknown Gibson's Gothic Revival plan.

The construction for the Cathedral began in 1888, and it remains unfinished, although its slate roof was recently replaced.

The Cathedral is noted as a tourist destination for its Gothic architecture, and especially for its multi-colored stained glass windows, stone carvings, and 17th Century Belgian Choir stalls. It is richly furnished. Frank Leslie's Weekly issued a whole booklet on the Cathedral for tourists of the late 1800s.

Music:

The Cathedral is famous for its music program, and is affiliated with the American Guild of Organists and the Royal School of Church Music in America. As an Anglo-catholic or High Church house of worship, the music, choir, and "bells and smells" are an important part of the liturgy. In the late 19th century, Bishop Doane created a boy's choir school (now defunct) and the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys, and penned the words to the hymn, Albany.

The Cathedral is also a concert venue for both secular and religious music. This is due in no small part to its architecture, and has been cited as one of the "Great Acoustic Spaces for Choral Music (in the) U.S. and Canada."

One of the practices revived in the Cathedral, from time to time, has been the election of a boy bishop in conjunction with its Medieval Faire.
