Stairway To Heaven

Since it's Sunday I decided it would be fitting to do a blog about tree house churches. When I read about one in France I assumed it was unique,but the one I read about is one of three in France and there are also at least one in the U.S. (Tennessee). The Chapel Oak is between 800-1,200 years old. It was struck by lightning,gutting its trunk. Two monks began work on the hollowed interior. After completing the first chapel they decided to add a second chapel further up the tree,which is reached by an external spiral staircase. In an ongoing effort to preserve the tree shingles have been added and poles are used to provide support in various places. Mass is still held in it twice a year.
I am going to go out on a limb here (pun intended) and bet that most of you are still attending plain old churches!
