170 E Jefferson AveDetroit MI 48226 313-259-2206
Description:
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. This church serves as a sanctuary for Great Lakes sailors and their families. Prayers incorporate nautical references, and the bells toll whenever the lakes take another soul. A poignant example of this tradition occurred in 1975 when The Reverend Richard Ingalls prayed and tolled the church's bell once for each of the sailors lost in the tragic sinking of an ore freighter on Lake Superior, which inspired Gordon Lightfoot's moving ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Located near the Renaissance Center, next to the tunnel leading to Canada. Guided tours are available with advance notice.
