England’s
Norwich Cathedral is offering
visitors this opportunity. A
50-foot “helter-skelter” ride has
been temporarily set up in its
nave, ostensibly for people to
get up-close and personal with
the “medieval roof bosses” and
nearby stained-glass window.
Church
officials insist that this is not just
a gimmick, even though it seems to
follow suit with the mini golf course in
Rochester Cathedral. CNN reports that
“churches across the UK struggle to
stem a decline in attendance.”
Nevertheless,
unusual juxtapositions can
jolt us from automatic pilot to an in-the-moment
appreciation of God’s Creation
and all of its wonders.
