Even more now than ever, as our society has transformed to a less-stationary, ever-changing schedule, knowing there's a place people can come to in your community for prayer when they need I think would have tremendous blessing for both them and you. I hope it works out for you!JackUVallTradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649937541869689180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-30602389829473558162010-09-26T08:41:48.501-04:002010-09-26T08:41:48.501-04:00I like this idea.

It's kind of like opening the pavilion up for the community...only it's opening the sanctuary.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224824156269049892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-29695327939907781552010-09-26T06:58:43.225-04:002010-09-26T06:58:43.225-04:00I do still think this a good idea.

Maybe a lot of important things are missed because we don't want to deal with what appears to be ugly. I don't know - what is the worst thing that could happen? Or...what is the best thing that could happen?JAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158413163116547799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-43476604995291416422010-09-25T14:20:49.535-04:002010-09-25T14:20:49.535-04:00I like the idea, and here's why - recently I&#...I like the idea, and here's why - recently I've been thinking about going to our church during the week to pray in the sanctuary. But I don't. And one of the reasons I don't is that while the "church" is open during the week (church offices, etc.), to my knowledge no one uses the sactuary, and if someone was in there, it would look "weird." I don't want to call attention to myself, ya know?<br /><br />When I was briefly attending a lectio divina/contemplation group here they met in a side chapel in the Catholic cathedral, and there were ALWAYS people sitting in the main sanctuary, just praying. Because it's "normal" there, and no one to wonder why Joe was in there today praying.Jim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634460171128306060noreply@blogger.com
