Old South Church

I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful baptism recently for my second cousin, Thatcher Joaquim. It was held at the historic Old South Church in Boston, MA. The architecture of this church is amazing... majestic... inspiring. The service was given by Rev. Nancy Taylor who delivered her sermon as if she'd been preparing it for years. She addressed the congregation with such passion and sentiment, it made me wish I lived closer so I could experience such a service again. If you're ever in Boston on a Sunday morning, visit this church for a moving service- or just take their tour. If you're looking for a church ceremony in the Boston area, definitely consider Old South. They are open to every race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and religious background.

Here are some beautiful pics of the church plus a couple of Thatcher & family.
