the oudekerk is one of the oldest churches in amsterdam... it's one of the largest churches in amsterdam... and it's in the heart of the infamous red light district - literally surrounded by lights of red. unfortunately, the oudekerk no longer serves as a place of worship, but rather as a place of art and pictures - a museum. the oudekerk is dirty and run down, with nothing but old tombs, battered columns and chipped paint to fill its vast space. it has fallen victim to an area of darkness and spiritual turmoil that haunts this beautiful city. maybe one day, just maybe, people will fill this huge church having come into it to seek something bigger than any church walls can hold within.
