Lord Pennethorne follows the Anglican faith, the most common Christian denomination found in Great Britain and he is a member of the Church of England. Reginauld also follows the Anglican faith. Lady Pennethorne follows the Baptist faith. Since living in America, Lord and Lady Pennethorne and Reginauld visit a Baptist church on Sunday mornings. When they're in England, they attend an Anglican church with old Aunt Adelia.
Aoife, being a good Irish girl, follows the Catholic faith. She is very devout and visits the chapel daily. She attends mass at a Catholic church on Sunday mornings.
Forgive me if this isn't your cup of tea, but I just want to speak from my heart and declare my faith and love for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I haven't always been a model Christian, but I try always to do the right thing. I've strayed off the path so many times and gotten myself into some very precarious situations, but I've always been protected by angels and loved by the Lord . . . and I'm almost positive that I provide a great source of laughter for them up there.
And now a visit to the Chapel . . .
This space still requires curtains and a few pictures that I have in mind. I'd also like to replace the bench from Dream Small Studio on Etsy with a pew bench. And more flowers would be nice.
The agate cross was a gift from a friend who visited Ireland. The "vintage Holy Bible" came from Little Things of Interest on Etsy and the prayer bench is from Arjen Spinhoven on Etsy. It was a kit that I put together and painted.
The miniature statues of Jesus and Mary came from the gift shop at the Holy Hill Basilica in southeastern Wisconsin. It's a beautiful and peaceful place to visit with a wonderful cafe' and paths for meandering and contemplating, even if you're not Catholic.

Hello Madam,
ReplyDeleteI visit your blog every time you update it.
Seeing your chapel and your desire to change the bench, I thought you might be interested in a site that sells miniature church furniture : www.uol.hk.
I already ordered a wall table from this site and everything went well (I live in France).
Thank you for sharing your passion with your blog, it is very inspiring.
Thank you so much for following along J.A.! Thank you for the information regarding the church furniture . . . I'll check it out!
DeleteThe chapel is lovely. I found it interesting that so many grand houses back then had chapels.....Nowadays, some people have prayer closets. They are a lovely way to clear your thoughts and talk to God without any distractions.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie! I visited the Bishop's Mansion in Galveston several years ago and there was a lovely chapel there. I'd love to build a little chapel on my farm some day. It would be a sweet retreat.
DeleteI'm private about my religious convictions as well Teresa yet SO GLAD to read that you are a fellow Believer And follower of JESUS as well.
ReplyDeleteWe each have stories we could tell about our various spiritual journeys and about how we who are imperfect, have found PERFECTION in HIM!
AND I think that your quiet little chapel within Pennethorne Manor, is an AWESOME idea!
Thank you Elizabeth! I'm so grateful to have Jesus in my life otherwise getting through this pandemic would be a nightmare! I have faith and trust in Him completely!
