About this listen

 Nov. 4, 2025 ~ Dr. Robert Livernois steps into the maritime soul of Detroit to uncover a sanctuary that has weathered centuries of change—both literally and figuratively. On this episode of Hidden in Plain Sight, we visit the Old Mariners’ Church, a Gothic stone landmark nestled beside Hart Plaza and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Founded in the 1840s through the vision and generosity of Julia Ann Anderson, the church was built to serve Great Lakes sailors in need of shelter, sustenance, and spiritual care. Tune in for a story of maritime legacy, architectural marvel, and the enduring echoes of compassion. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
