St. Andrew's, Breckenridge, Texas
This morning my father and I travelled 120 miles west of home to attend St. Andrew's Church in Breckenridge, Texas. I was the celebrant at their Pentecost Eucharist. They are presently between rectors and various priests of the diocese, including myself, are taking turns supplying there. The new rector, the Rev. Joel Hampton (a former Presbyterian minister who is now in transitional deacon's orders), is finishing his "Anglican year" at Nashotah House Seminary and will take up his ministry in Breckenridge in July. The folks of St. Andrew's were welcoming and gracious, and Pop and I both enjoyed our visit very much. Pop took these pictures of their lovely church. Do please visit them if you are ever in the Lake Possum Kingdom area on a Sunday.

Looks a bit on the narrow side, but the bare brick is very nice!
My feeling exactly, Julian. It did have a slightly bowling alley type feel to it, being so narrow, but on the whole I liked the aesthetic.
It's such a beautiful church (and looks like one). I wish we had more like those in the metroplex.
They are very blessed to have (soon to be Fr.) Hampton as their new rector.
It's bee a joy getting to know him while he's been here at the House.
See you on Sunday, Fr. Foster!

That's a pretty nave. Looks like "Romanesque revival" or something. Nice!
