Where in the World is the Most Southern Anglican Cathedral?


    

Seeing the Church of England's most southern cathedral requires a trip to the Falkland Islands. Located near the southern tip of South America, the capital city of the island chain is Stanley. It is there where, in 1892, the Christ Church Cathedral became the world's southernmost Anglican cathedral. Made from the jawbones of two blue whales, a "Whalebone Arch" has stood adjacent to the cathedral since 1933. It was placed in celebration of the 100th continuous year of the Falklands being a British Overseas Territory.

Are you a history lover?

I'm quite certain that if asked that question, Scott's response would be yes. On the other hand, my reply would likely be no. But, the older that I get and the more opportunities that I have to travel, I have become less confident of my answer to the question.

Maybe the real answer is that I didn't like learning history while in school! I've come to really enjoy learning more about the world that we live in as well as past events. That's history, right? Like, I had no idea that the Falkland Islands off of the coast of South America are actually a British Overseas Territory.

It's also kind of weird to think that we are currently making "history" for those of the future!

How about you - do you enjoy learning history?
