can someone

Can someone identify this structure, located in New York City?


It's a photograph of my father's that I scanned; it's from 1938 or 1939 or 1940, way long before my time--eons before--and it appears distinctive enough that I wonder if it's a cathedral.  There's no hand-written notes on the back, alas.

Well, I wasn't going to get anywhere with "Gothic," "New York City."

I had to nadin it anyway.  I already knew Riverside Church was a prominent church in New York City, but that was about it; "a prominent church in New York City--whoop-whoop-de-do, in a city with many prominent churches."

After nadining it, I learned it was John D. Rockefeller's church, and originally a Baptist one.

And then it went bad sometime during the 20th century, getting involved in matters of the world rather than matters of the spirit, and it's been downhill since.

Riverside was founded by Rockefeller and Harry Emerson Fosdick in the early 1930s (if my math is correct) and is associated with the American Baptist Churches USA and United Church of Christ (e.g. Trinity UCC in Chicago, misled by Jeremiah Wright). However you would term the opposite of Evangelical among those claiming to be Christian, that would probably be a good description of Riverside from its inception. Riverside is theologically and socially liberal, into all the social action and Lib/Prog politics stuff that DU-folk and their ilk can't/won't see as being closer to something like "theocracy" than anything in Evangelical circles.
