Church banks on celestial energy
Begins at 22 min. 40 sec
The Episcopal church has an old tradition: if an object, however unusual, is used for a holy purpose, it's eligible for a special blessing. So when St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, in Washington, DC, installed a set of solar panels, it was only natural to hold a blessing ceremony—complete with frankincense. Elizabeth Ryan brings us the story.

Begins at 44 min. 7 sec
