Ichabod,

I'm curious, after viewing this historic St. John's Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, pic, a number of times: Are those 2 magnificent steeples adequately insured for a weather related "act of God?" And, is there adequate liability insurance, should, (God forbid) they break off and end someone's life? Will these twin steeples ("forever") continue to withstand pipe organ vibrations?

I remember when I was a youngster in Tawas City Michigan. My father was pastor at Zion Lutheran Church, (there), in the 50's. The tall steeple had been a familiaar and trusted landmark for airplanes. But, Zion's magnificent man-made (rotting) steeple with its large Cross had to be torn down. Those were the days when there was such a profession, as a "steeple jack."

I wish that I could attend this concert. But, schedule and distance, stand in the way. And, I always like to attend something free, without a fee.

But, be that as it may - I'm curious, after viewing this historic St. John's Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, pic, a number of times. Some objective and honest questions have come to mind:

Are those 2 magnificent steeples adequately insured for a weather related "act of God?" And, is there adequate liability insurance, should, (God forbid) they break off and cripple and / or, end someone's life? Will these twin steeples ("forever") continue to withstand pipe organ vibrations?

[Such was the practical reality] Those were the days when there was, such a profession, as a "steeple jack."
