Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin?

Where shall my wondering soul begin?
Hymn 454, Singing the Faith, Charles Wesley's conversion hymn.

The High Street Methodist Church in East London, UK, and its congregation have gone through many changes during their 200-year history. What has remained the same, however, is the meaning and importance of the church and faith to its members.
The portraits, taken in the third Methodist church built on this site, reflect a quiet moment of faith through gestures of prayer and devotion that express the calm, joy or consolation experienced in the place of worship.
