What Will Become of our New Space - Raising a Temple

Kenneth Patton, the storied Universalist minister of the mid-20th Century wrote:

“We have been warned against leaving the temples of our upbringing, but we have discovered that every temple in which men and women have worshiped is also our temple, if we enter it with the spirit of our common search for goodness of life.”

Exciting Times!

We move from task to task, from project to project, guided, if not driven, by our watches and calendars. Our tasks may be the mundane – laundry and dinner – or the exotic – the buildout of our new church space. Whichever it is, we don’t usually appreciate the value, the importance, or even perhaps, the “interestingness” of these activities until we step away, take a break, do something totally out of the ordinary, and look back in on our lives from the outside.
