St. Barnabas' stained glass -- a jewel on Ottawa's James street

St.Barnabas has the typical red brick of many Ottawa buildings

St. Barnabas church on James Street in downtown Ottawa is one of our favourite singing venues. It has amazing acoustics (we recorded our Cantate Domino CD there) within an art-bedecked interior.

Even the working windows are enhanced with stained glass. The golden glow from these windows flood the church in the afternoon. The contrast in colour to the other windows is striking.
