Crystal Cathedral

Shining Protestant Tower

Description

This sparkling tower rises into the sky in the middle of Orange County, California, and is a place of Christian worship for a congregation of over 10,000 people. The incredible building is made out of over 10,000 plates of silver-tinted glass, held in place by a strong frame of white steel. For those who want to sit inside amongst the 2,890 other people attending services, there are JumboTron television screens set up around the church to make viewing mass easier. Or, if you'd like to enjoy a "drive-up" service experience, the Cathedral boasts an outside screen that projects the activities of mass inside to those who are sitting outside. The church is known worldwide for its famous guest speakers and its TV show broadcast around the world called Hour of Power.
