Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Casper Wyoming


This is another Lutheran Church, this one from a different branch of the Lutheran faith, in east Casper, Wyoming.  The church is a modern architectural structure.  I'm unaware of when it was built, but it was likely in the 1960s.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Salt Lake City Utah



This is Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Salt Lake City. This Greek Orthodox Cathedral was built in 1923, and is located in downtown Salt Lake.

The Cathedral is one of two Greek Orthodox churches in Salt Lake, both of which are part of the Metropolis of Denver. Salt Lake has at least three other Orthodox churches, however, including a Russian Orthodox Church and a Antiochian Orthodox Church. The Greek Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City also has a school.

Of interest, two of the three Greek Orthodox Churches in nearby Wyoming, which are also part of the Metropolis of Denver, are named Holy Family, including the church in Casper.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Rock Springs Wyoming


Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is located one block from St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Rock Springs in what was probably an ethnic neighborhood at the time the churches were built.  In addition to having a sizable Slavic Community, Rock Springs had a sizable Greek community as well, both drawn to the area in the early 20th Century by coal mining.

Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church, former location of (Holy Trinity Episcopal Church), Gillette Wyoming



When I took this photograph, it was the location of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Gillette, Wyoming. As noted at the time, I had no idea how old the structure of the church was. An addition, not visible here, to the back side looked to be a rectory.

Since I took this photo, the Church structure sold to the Antiochian Orthodox parish in Gillette, and this Church is now Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church.  I don't know where the Episcopal parish formerly located here is now located.  The pastor of this church informs me that it has been redone inside, in keeping with Orthodox traditions, and he was graciously allow me to photograph the interior in the future.

Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Church, Denver Colorado




This impressive church has an unusually long construction history. The church was started in 1924, but it was not fully finished until 1940.

The impressive church is an extremely active one, and is located in downtown Denver. Of all the Denver churches, it may be the one that is located the furthest downtown, although Holy Trinity Methodist might also make that claim.

As with Holy Trinity Methodist, it is hard to photograph as various tall buildings have been built near it. Indeed, Holy Trinity actually finds that a neighboring building was built around it.

A history of Holy Ghost can be found here.

Update

I recently was at a Sunday Mass at Holy Ghost, and took this photograph:


Holy Ghost certain is a very beautiful church.

Holy Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Denver Colorado






This is a very old Denver Church, being located right downtown, and having been built in 1887. It is a substantial structure.

It's also difficult to photograph, as it's nearly always in perpetual shade as very tall buildings have been built up around it. This is, unfortunately, compounded here as these photographs were taken on a very dreary day.

One item of note, the church declares that it is the Holy Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, but in modern terms it's usually called the Holy Trinity Methodist Church or the Holy Trinity United Methodist Church. This obviously indicates some change in how the Methodist church is conceived of during the past century, but I don't know what that is. Here the church is listed under its original name.

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Casper Wyoming



This is Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, the Greek Orthodox Church in Casper, Wyoming. This is one of only four Orthodox Churches in Wyoming, and one of only three Greek Orthodox Churches. The other two Greek Orthodox Churches are located in Rock Springs, Wyoming and Cheyenne, Wyoming, communities that obviously had substantial enough Greek communities for the establishment of a church. A fourth Orthodox Church can be found in Gillette Wyoming but it is an Antiochian Orthodox Church.
