Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The video panels at the top of One World Trade Center in New York City simulate the feel of a glass-walled elevator as it climbs 102 floors in 47 seconds. The video also offers a unique perspective on the city’s Protestant church steeples.

#2 White Christian America’s monuments to its own power are visible in the changing uses of three iconic structures: the United Methodist Building in Washington, D. C. ; the Interchurch Center on New York City’s Upper West Side; and the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.

#3 The Methodist Episcopal Church purchased a lot across from the US Capitol in 1922. The building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style, and was meant to demonstrate Protestant Christian ideals merging with American government.

#4 The United Methodist Building was a center for Protestant activities in Washington, and it was used to stamp federal legislation with Protestant morality.
