"Now the architect Jeff Sydness has begun a
restoration project at Second Church that he says will cost several million
dollars. The copper dome has leaks, and a great black net is rigged underneath
it in the sanctuary. The facade needs cleaning to remove rust stains -- from old
pigeon deterrents -- and other soil. The huge stained-glass windows will be
removed and reinforced, and the great skylight under the dome will get
artificial illumination."
