The Bowery Boys have finally made to one of the most enigmatic and miraculous houses of worship in America \u2013 the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. This Episcopal cathedral has a story like no other and a collection of eccentric artifacts and allegorical sculpture \u2013 both ancient and contemporary \u2013 that continues to marvel and confound.\xa0\n\n\n\n\nLocated in Morningside Heights in Upper Manhattan, St. John the Divine \u2013 named for the Apostle and author of the Book of Revelations -- is no ordinary cathedral (if such a thing exists). Every corner seems to vibrate on a different frequency from other Christian churches.\n\n\n\n\nMany ideas have gone into creating St. John the Divine\u2019s unique personality \u2013 a quirky mix of architectural styles, some outside-the-box ideas about community outreach, its embrace of the unconventional. But one particularly striking detail sets it apart from the rest: the Cathedral remains unfinished.\n\n\xa0\n\nFEATURING: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Keith Haring, Duke Ellington, Martin Luther King Jr. and the high-wire antics of Philippe Petit.\n\n\xa0\n\nALSO: Tom and Greg explore the Cathedral -- from the crypt to the rooftop \u2013 with tour guide Bill Schneberger.\xa0\n\n\n\n\nboweryboyshistory.com\n\nVISIT THE WEBSITE FOR SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CATHEDRAL's 125TH BIRTHDAY PARTY -- FEATURING THE BOWERY BOYS\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys
