Here’s some photos I took of the MCR Helena church from Ghoul’s Day Out last Saturday. Not pictured is my partner and I embracing after I proposed to them, keepin that one for myself.
Even if that anon claims it wasn't a church, the setting most DEFINITELY resembles one. And a user on Twitter also showed how they also made a few references to some things in Christianity. This just wasn't it.
The whole mv was sketchy. I didn't appreciate the one eye signs they had in the mv, either. It's like the company loves showing off that shit atp (It was in the GBGB MV, too)
The song was dull too. The choreography and the girls were the only cool parts of...that mess.
agreed. it’s Immanuel Presbyterian church in LA, and it is a popular church that allows filming to take place, BUT it is still used to attend mass etc. and even though filming there is allowed, it’s more about what they’re filming.
I also saw a twt post about the references and it makes my eye twitch icl. I know atheists don’t care that’s why they’re trash talking about people whining, but if it was a different religion it’d be a whole different story, wouldn’t it?
Let’s say fine, they were given permission to use the church for filming, but for filming that? yeah no. not when their concept pictures were basically mocking religious events. the crown of thorns? staffs with their logo on the top? and the one eye symbols in the back? (it creeped me out in gbgb too) eunchae is literally wearing devil horns. they replaced the cross with their logo?? how does no one see that and think, oh that’s not it?
it’s a shame. I heard the song before the mv came out. didn’t even need to watch the mv bc it was already controversial. I’m not giving it views, sorry. ALSO not fearnots using this ‘controversy’ to boost views etc.
not to add that they got a minor, eunchae, barely of age, shaking her ass and we know they have fans 20+ years old, the whole situation is making me uneasy :///
ik it isn’t just the girls but hybe in general. the staff and production team. whoever thought of this concept :/ it’s not it.
This photo was taking directly in front of Immanuel Presbyterian Church where they also filmed Michael volunteering with the kids during the earthquake so I'm assuming it's the Grants' church. (Peter was filming at the same church yesterday.) Bobby's church scenes in the past were always filmed at St. Basil's Catholic Church a few blocks west of there.
The first black congregation in Wisconsin, St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal Church, was organized in 1869. This church, at 4th and Cedar (later W. Kilbourn Ave.) was the second home of the congregation, but its first real church. The cornerstone was laid on Dec. 5, 1886, and it was dedicated on May 29, 1887. E.T. Mix was the architect. Mix also designed All Saints' Episcopal Cathedral (originally built as Olivet Congregational Church), Immanuel Presbyterian Church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church and Plymouth Congregational Church. St. Mark's purchased a new church at 497 (later 1525 N.) 4th St. in 1914. The present St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal Church is at 1616 W. Atkinson Ave. An anvil stands in front and the anvil motif is repeated in the design of the stained glass windows. Both symbolize the origin of the denomination, which traces its history to a church founded in a blacksmith shop in Philadelphia in 1787. The present church building was planned by Harry A. Ollrogge and dedicated in the congregation’s centennial year, 1969. Photograph and information provided by the Milwaukee Public Library local history collection.

As one rises over the Menomonee Valley on the North-South Freeway of I-94 just south of the Marquette Interchange, a spectacular view emerges of Milwaukee’s industrial past and present, but even more evidently of Milwaukee as a city of spires. In every direction, the cityscape is dotted with dozens of spires for miles in every direction, a testament to the religious heritage of the city.
This week we present photographs of a few of those religious institutions along with photographs of how they appear today. The older photographic images, ca. 1890, are from our very rare bound set of 100 photographic plates, Milwaukee Illustrated, published in Milwaukee by J.C. Iversen & Co. You may also find a digitized copy in our digital collection, Milwaukee Neighborhoods. The structures, and what they look like today, from top to bottom, are:
1.) Temple Emanu-El, 1025 N Broadway Street. Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun emerged out of a Yom Kippur service held in Milwaukee in 1847, and remains a flourishing congregation today. Three tiny congregations merged in 1856 to form B’ne Jeshurun, but in 1871, 35 families split off to form Congregation Emanu-El, building the synagogue pictured here at the corner of what is now Broadway and State Streets in 1872. This structure no longer exists and the corner is now at the heart of the Milwaukee School of Engineering campus. As the B’ne Jeshurun congregation grew and moved north, a new facility was built on Kenwood Blvd, in 1922, directly across the street from what would become our UW-Milwaukee campus in 1956. In 1927, the two congregations re-merged to become Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun (CEEBJ). Again, with many of its congregants moving further north, the Kenwood facility was acquired by UWM in 2000 to become the Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts, and CEEBJ moved to its current facility on Brown Deer Road at the far northern edge of Milwaukee.
2.) St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 904 E Knapp Street. The historic image shown here is a view of St. Paul's Episcopal Church before the bell tower was completed. The church was designed by local architect Edward Townsend Mix in Richardsonian Romanesque style and built in 1884 using Lake Superior Sandstone, a dark red sandstone found near the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. It is especially noted for its collection of Tiffany stained glass windows. The church was restored and rebuilt after a fire in 1953. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to serve a congregation that was established in 1838.
3.) Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 1100 N Astor Street. This is one of the most important works by Edward Townsend Mix, built in the High Victorian Gothic style, 1873–75. The exterior is ashlar Wauwatosa limestone, with openings trimmed in red-orange and gray sandstone. The interior was damaged by fire in 1887 and reconstructed in 1889. Like St. Paul's Episcopal, this church also has Tiffany art-glass windows added in 1900. Immanuel Presbyterian Church is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to serve a congregation that was established in 1870.
4.) St. James Episcopal Church, 833 W. Wisconsin Ave., and Calvary Presbyterian Church, 935 W Wisconsin Ave. In the historic photograph, St. James is in the foreground with Calvary Presbyterian on the left one block further west. In the contemporary photos, St. James is on the left, Calvary on the right. St. James was designed by Detroit architect Gordon William Lloyd in an English Gothic Revival style beginning in 1867. Calvary Presbyterian was designed by Milwaukee architects Henry C. Koch and Julius Hess in Gothic Revival style and built in 1870. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but because of dwindling membership, St. James closed as a church in 2017 and reopened in 2020 as a venue for weddings and other events.
5.) Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1046 N 9th Street. The church was designed by Milwaukee architect Frederick Velguth in a combination of High Victorian Gothic with German Gothic styles in 1878. The exterior is mainly Cream City brick, a distinct light-colored brick manufactured locally, along with some sandstone details. In 2018, a four-alarm fire broke out causing extensive damage, and rebuilding and restoration is ongoing today. This church is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and serves a congregation that was established in 1847.
