On November 15, 2003 the Los Angeles Times reported on the book "Sacred Spaces: Historic Houses of Worship in the City of Angels," a collection published this month of 54 photographs by Los Angeles architectural photographer Robert Berger. In preparing the collection, Berger "visited more than 300 churches, synagogues, temples and meditation centers — all built before 1952. As he sought steeples, crosses and domes in some neighborhoods that seemed as 'foreign as distant lands,' the Los Angeles native, now 44, began to appreciate his city's ethnic diversity as never before."
