The Only One In The World

 This is Xaver Wilhelmy. He is a member of our church and comes from Austria. He is a craftsman and inventor who created the first pipe organ in the world with glass pipes. It is huge, and is dedicated to the 911 victims. It took him 18 months to build.

The flag design flows around the pipes, sometimes on the front and sometime dipping behind the pipe just like it’s flowing in the wind.

When he made THIS FLAG, he employed people of various nationalities to create this working sound sculpture. They created something that had never existed before.

“What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.”
