A nice perspective . . .

Our parish would like to build a new church. We have a new pastor and he is good at building the attitude groundwork, first, before a brick is purchased or set into place! In talking to him, today, he said that building a church does not mean the building. Building a church is the body of people involved and once you have 'built' that foundation, then you build a 'vessel' in which they will reside to worship our Lord. I thought it really put the whole concept of 'building community' into focus.
