Barely a block apart, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) modestly occupies a quiet bourgeois house on affluent Lowther Avenue, while the imposing, fortress-like edifice of the Christian Scientists, with trimmings of Greek Temple and a side of Fort Knox, stands at the intersection of Lowther and St George.

Following the theme I started with last week’s photos, how different these two places of worship are, architecturally; and how different the manner in which they proclaim themselves, publicly through their buildings, as religions, and as paths to God.
