There’s something special about St. Peter’s. The Rev. Paul Hartt felt it the very first time he walked into the building. “There’s this sense that the very walls are saturated with prayer,” said Hart, who took over as rector at St. Peter’s Protestant Episcopal Church at 107 State St. in Albany seven years ago. “There’s a real holiness as you walk into the place that is palpable. It makes you quiet. You get that transcendent feeling that a good church should create.”
