On Saturday, April 20, from 9:00-11:45 a.m., join master’s student Caleb Rollins, local architectural historian Rolf Anderson, and Dr. Cody Sanders on a morning excursion to see three important gems of church architecture in the Twin Cities:
- Chapel of the Cross in Northwestern Hall at Luther Seminary – designed by the firm of Luther Seminary alumn Edward Sövik, a leader in 20th c. religious architecture
- Church of St. Bernard in St. Paul – an unusual Prairie/Art Nouveau church from the early 20th c.
- Christ Church Lutheran in Minneapolis – a Modernist mid-century National Historic Landmark designed by famed father and son architects Eliel and Eero Saarinen.
All are invited to join us. Rolf Anderson will provide context and insight into these three buildings as we all take in their unique beauty. Meet at 9:00 a.m. outside of Northwestern Hall on the lower campus of Luther Seminary. If you can provide transportation for our carpool, let Cody know, csanders001@luthersem.edu.
