Question

It has like five extremely tall spires and one with what appears to be a bishop on it, it's a highly unusual church and it's a long shot but i was wondering if anyone knows what it is.

Answer 1

Hello, Yes, the Morman Temple is quite an outstanding monument
when you unexpectedly see it from the beltway.I have enclosed an html which will give you some fantastic pictures of the Morman Chuch and some information on it.D.C. is one of those places where you never know what you will see next.I thought I had seen most of D. C. until we practically stumbled upon the Albert Einstein Memorial.I have also enclosed a description of this fascinating place.

The Albert Einstein Memorial is a monumental bronze statue depicting Albert Einstein seated with manuscript papers in hand. It is located in central Washington, D.C., United States, in a grove of trees at the southwest corner of the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences on Constitution Avenue, near to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The statue was sculpted by Robert Berks in 19 sections and then welded together. It weighs 7,000 pounds (3.2 metric tons) and would stand 21 feet (6.4 m) high. The statue sits on a bench that is white granite from Mount Airy, North Carolina.

The statue and bench are at one side of a circular dais, 28 feet (8.5 m) in diameter, made from emerald-pearl granite from Larvik, Norway. Embedded in the dais are more than 2,700 metal studs representing the location of astronomical objects (Sun, Moon, planets, 4 asteroids, 5 galaxies, 10 quasars, and many stars) at noon on April 22, 1979 when the memorial was dedicated. The studs are different sizes to denote the apparent magnitude of the relevant object, and different studs denote binary stars, spectroscopic binaries, pulsars, globular clusters, open clusters, and quasars.

Written on the papers held in the statue's left hand are three equations, summarising three of Einstein's important scientific advances:

* the theory of general relativity:
* the photoelectric effect:
* the equivalence of energy and matter:

If you stand at the center of the floor patterns, and speak towards the statue, you will feel a very interesting acoustic echo.

Answer 2

If it's the one I think it is, it's the Washington branch of the Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons).

The National Cathedral maybe.

It may be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (They have a temple in D.C.)
