The Abbey is one of my favorite places in all the world: it remains primarily an absolutely glorious worship space offering Holy communion as well as Morning and Evening Prayer daily. Steeped in history, monuments and tombs abound, with many wonderful surprises to discover among the royalty, poets, artists, and others buried here. The inscription at Queen Exlizabeth I's tomb is poignant as is standing in the spot where Thomas a Becket was killed. Walking in the cloisters provides a deep connection with the monastic prayers offered here for centuries, especially when watching the paving stones for the names or stories of monks. Taking time to do brass rubbings, attend services or listen to concerts endears the Abbey to any visitor for its contemporary life as well as its history.

This astounding glass church structure is the worship space brought into being through the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Robert Schuller. Its ministries include weekly worship, and the internationally televised "Hour of Power." Many educational programs as well as special events take place here, including the "Glory of Easter," and "Glory of Christmas" dramatic productions. The sculpture garden is not to be missed. Many ministries and events are available -- check the website before visiting Los Angeles. while Protestant christians may especially enjoy the Crystal Cathedral, all are welcome. Tours are available Mondays through Saturdays.
