Wayfarers Chapel is one of very impressive churches that I have visited. The distance between the church and my living place is around 2 hours of driving. It is located in Rancho Palos Verdes, California and sponsored by the Swedenborglan Church designed by architect Lloyd Wright, son of the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Chapel is already listed on the National Registry of Historic Places (The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation).

The glass church is along Pacific Ocean and surrounded by redwoods (a very tall tree that grows in California). The unique setting of ocean, trees, and glass structure provides people with a most original, nature and thorough communication with God. 

Sitting in a chair outside the church, you can enjoy an extremely impressive view, especially during the sunset. When I sat outside the chapel I recalled the words, "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence" by Helen Keller.
