Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot / " Houses of Worship"

This is the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Orange County, California.
The main sanctuary was constructed with 10,000 panes of rectangular glass and was designed to withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake.
It is a Christian Protestant church with an international congregation.
The Sunday worship services are also televised on the "Hour of Power" each week.
Up to 2900 worshipers can be seated in this "mega-church."
Considered a southern California landmark, this church attracts many daily visitors year round.
My family has attended a few special programs and services in this church...but, we are not members here.

The bell tower is quite unique.
