Each time belief, curiosity or work has led us to enter one of the city's many historic churches - big or small - we've been awestruck by what lay inside. Be it the pipe organ inside the Wesley Methodist Church in Colaba, the remarkably sturdy wooden cross at Bandra's St Andrew's or the frescoes that grace Holy Name Cathedral.
