Metropolitan United Church

Andy | Sunday, November 27, 2016 | Best Blogger Tips
One of the largest churches in downtown Toronto, welcomes people of any faith or orientation to join in the Sunday services. On January 30, 1928 the church caught fire and was gutted. The tower with its 23 bells, the narthex, the rear portion of the balcony and the brick walls were all that could be saved. It was rebuilt in 1929, incorporating most of the original walls, tower, narthex, and much of the stained glass.

  3. Looks like a grand old church. Haven't heard much about the Metropolitan churches in recent years. I know they were and are a great place of refuge for gays and lesbians.
