Happy Mother's Day from Wayfarers Chapel! Today we take a moment to honor the two women who made the vision of The Wayfarers Chapel a reality Elizabeth Schellenberg and Narcissa Cox Vanderlip. Elizabeth dreamed of a little chapel on a hillside above the Pacific Ocean where wayfarers could stop to rest, meditate and give thanks to God for the wonder and beauty of creation. Narcissa, a fellow Swedenborgian, responded to the dream and agreed to contribute land for the c...hapel site. Fittingly, the Chapel held its first worship service 70 years ago on Mother’s Day in 1951! https://www.wayfarerschapel.org/about/significant-dates/ #wayfarerschapel #mothersday #mothersday2021 #livinggarden

Happy #weddingwednesday! With an enchanted forest feel, evening candlelight weddings in the Chapel have an extra magical feel to them with the flicker of the candlelight and the mirror like reflections of the glass.

Happy Earth Day! Nestled in a grove of towering redwood trees, the natural sanctuary of the Wayfarers Chapel is made of Palos Verdes stone, redwood, and glass. It is one of the foremost examples of organic architecture and is the perfect combination of nature and architectural genius. The Chapel and grounds were designed by Lloyd Wright, who found himself in accord with the positive outlook of the Swedenborgian Church and its emphasis on harmony between God’s natural world an...d the inner world of mind and spirit. The Chapel’s organic architecture gives unique expression to the sanctuary as a sacred space that welcomes all wayfarers along life’s path.
