1. NCCC_201213_08.JPG: Marjory Wentworth One Hundred Thousand Names Whether it is morning And sunlight is seeping through Overlapping oak branches Bursting with bright leaves Or late in the day, after Rain has fallen and the scent Of spring splashes across The washed sky, emptied of clouds And opening, you have arrived At this sanctuary Where the locked church door is Never closed to anyone. Step into the circle Of grace woven from many Threads that bind us Across time and place. Let us mourn together The thousands upon thousands Who have perished, so many Alone, so many afraid, So far from the people They loved most. Perhaps you, Or someone you know: cousin, Co-worker, neighbor, or friend. One hundred thousand stories Left to tell. One hundred thousand Voices suddenly silent. One hundred thousand names Etched on the altars of our hearts. Our grief is collective, tear Stained and bright, blue Like a wound or the wind Wrapping itself around you. As you step back into the world Where the names of the lost are tumbling through the sky.

Wikipedia Description: National City Christian Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National City Christian Church, located on Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C., is the national cathedral for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), often abbreviated as the "Disciples of Christ" or "Christian Church". The denomination grew out of the Stone-Campbell Movement founded by Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (then Virginia) and Barton W. Stone of Kentucky. The church currently hosts the Thomas Circle Singers, a chamber chorus that raises awareness and funds for charitable organizations located in Washington, D.C.

Architecture:

The neoclassical church building was designed by John Russell Pope and completed in 1930. It is a contributing property to the Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District.

Notable members:

Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, occasionally attended National City Christian Church during his time as president and his state funeral was held here in 1973. However, his family had been staunchly Baptist and his wife, Lady Bird, was a devoted Episcopalian.

James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, was a member of National City Christian Church in one of its previous buildings.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11 and then the BLM protests started followed by the child president trying to steal the election in November. Trump's handling of the pandemic has been a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and increasing the deaths here. As the chant goes -- Hey, hey, POTUS-A; how many folks did you kill today? Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
