With Alex in Pittsburgh

Here's the Rector of Christ Church, Fox Chapel, in his commodious office on the first floor of the church building.

American pastors tend to work from an office in the church, rather than from their home, as is more common in the UK, and Alex is no exception.

Christ Church is a most beautiful building on the rural edge of the city of Pittsburgh. The building used to be a private home before its conversion as a church.

Here are a few pictures of the building:

An here is Alex flying the flag of his home country and his host country outside his garage:

And here are some photos of downtown Pittsburg:

And here is the location of the Christ Church church plant working to share the gospel in a less prosperous part of the city

And here from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is the desk of Karl Barth, the most famous protestant theologian of the 20th century. No one seems to know how it got there but it is nice to think of Prof Karl working away at producing his big books at this very desk:
