Top Religious Landmarks in Memphis

By Harry Bryant


Memphis is a wonderful town to go to. They have so much to do and see. They have culture, history and excitement. They are the capital city of the civil rights movement. They are the home of the king of rock'n'roll. And what isn't talked about as much is they are at the centre of lots of faiths. They not only have museums and amusements but they have history also. Also Memphis is home to a few non secular landmarks. There's such a lot to see and do in the city of Memphis. Not only will you get to experience the historical price of the city but you will also get a little taste of faith as well.

Southern Baptist

Faith is awfully prominant in the south. Memphis is home to several non secular backgrounds such as: Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Jewish, and Baptist faiths. There are several others that have migrated to this area but these are the key groups established in this great city.

Mason Temple

The Mason Temple is a Pentecostal temple in Memphis. It's got a lot of history worth to it. This is the church where Martin Luther King Jr. Made is "I have been to the mountaintop" speech the day prior to his demise.

Church of God in Christ

Memphis is also the home of the HQ of The Church of God in Christ. This is definitely one of the biggest churches in Memphis today.

Full Gospel Tabernacle

Full Gospel Tabernacle is a great church to visit. Most visitors say it is really worth the trip. They go to hear the Reverend Al Green talk. He's a wonderful speaker. Their choir is probably one of the best as well. Most tourists will come continually to this church simply to hear the choir and to feel the love that envelops this parish.

St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedrale

There are many cathedrales in this area too. Memphis is home to St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedrale. This cathedrale was established in the latter 1800's and is made of stunning stone work. It is a breathtaking site to behold.

Imaculate Conception

Roman Catholics frequently visit a cathedrale by the name of Immaculate Conception. This was established in the 1900's and is merely a sublime.
