\n

We prayed thoughtfully and earnestly for ourselves and all those who would be coming, but we arrived with few outlined outcomes. We planned to gently embrace this city of lively seekers by seeing their spiritual worthiness as we washed dust from their feet. What a surprise that in doing so, we discovered we were in the middle of church! Being in this very unique environment led me to some new thinking on what constitutes Church. Here are a few ideas that came to me in that windswept space about Church pared down to its core essence.

\nWalking into a church

\n

By BARBARA COOK

\n

From the March 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal

\n

should be like walking into a manger,
\nnot a hall of judgment\u2014
\na place so shorn of self-righteousness,
\nso free of all reproach,
\nthat the hungering heart will feel no
\nshame, no awkward fear,
\nno insecurity.

\n

Sitting in a church
\nshould be like sitting in a field of sunlight\u2014
\ncomfortable and warm\u2014
\nwhile Love’s sweet air is bearing
\nfragrances of Christ’s simplicity.

\n

Experiencing church should be like walking through* a stream,
\nwhere Christly ministrations
\nwash your feet and thoughts
\nand make you clean.

\n

Oh, yes\u2014I know how I expect my
\nchurch to feel ….
\nDear Father-Mother, teach me
\nnow the way to make it real.

\n

BARBARA COOK
\n* A correction was made in the February 1985 German Herold and the March 1986 French Heraut, in which this poem was reprinted and translated: “wading in\u201d was changed to \u201cwalking through\u201d.

WHAT? A CS Lecture at BURNING MAN? Ridiculous. What crazies are organizing this absurd idea? Yes, BMan is a superlative, fascinating, creative Art Festival. For 4 years I\u2019ve attended to support our son\u2019s large theme camp, flying in his banquet food and d\u00e9cor. I\u2019ve experienced some outstanding healings there, but as a devoted, active lifelong CS, I\u2019d never condone a CS\u00a0Lecture or even brief stage presentation at BMan.

\n

WHY?\u00a0 True, the basic philosophy requires brotherly kindness, strict conservation, self-reliant living, banning profiteering, respecting multi-culturalism, intellectual talks, focus on dancing and symbolism of destruction\u00a0of the past year\u2019s negative events to be free for fresh, positive experience.

\n

However, the emphasis on total freedom of lifestyle, usage of alcohol and drug abuse, and immodesty by a significant number in a city of 60,000:- it all seemed to me licentious, inappropriate, and offensive for offering pure CS.

\n

But then, WHY NOT Go For It? Was I being impressed with evil? I knew\u00a0Mrs. Eddy wrote \u201cWhy should we stand aghast at nothingness?\u201d (S&H563:5)

\n

WHEN? As I learned of the extremely loving, well-organized, and spiritual\u00a0purpose of the lecture organizing team, the motives began to shine as so pure, so filled with spiritual light and Christly compassion to \u201cgive a cup of cold water\u201d in the hot desert of humanity escaping from unresolved problems, I began to reach out for how I could help, though not attending.

\n

MBE does counsel us \u201cNever breathe an immoral atmosphere unless in an\u00a0attempt to purify it\u201d (S&H 452:14-15).What about praying (Hymn 144) \u201cIn atmosphere of Love Divine, we live and move and breathe\u201d?\u00a0 What right did I have to take offense? Again, our Leader advises in \u201cTaking Offense\u201d (MiscWr 223-224) that we CAN\u00a0 go forth into the wide world of diverse cultures, opinions, ceaseless interactions with dynamic spiritual patience, magnanimity, genial temper, and charity broad enough to cover the whole world\u2019s evil (my paraphrasing).

\n

WHOSE\u00a0 RESPONSIBILITY IS THIS, ANYWAY?\u00a0 Are there CS radicals or CS conservatives? MBE answers (\u201cWe soil our garments with conservatism,\u00a0and afterwards we must wash them clean.\u201d MWritg 452:20)\u00a0 We never need be timid, since everyone loves joyful surprises you find in practicing CS\u2026Hymn\u00a0191 addresses this situation:

\n

\u201cMy God, my Father, make me strong when tasks of life seem hard and long\u2026\u00a0Things deemed impossible I dare ~ Thine is the call, and Thine the care\u201d

\n

RESULT? Had a totally different perspective, so I found a way to support all CS activity with enthusiastic prayer-watching over the lecture & other times. As we know, the fruitage was excellent with healing and great joy!

Deepest gratitude for excellent team-planning, organization, choice of lecturer, — specially the shared inspiration before — a superb unfoldment of relevant, fresh, humorous ideas.

\"Nice

\n

Yep, going to the desert, both to learn and to share.

\n

Millions of unprejudiced minds – simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert – are waiting and watching for rest and drink. Give them a cup of cold water in Christ’s name, and never fear the consequences. What if the old dragon should send forth a new flood to drown the Christ-idea? He can neither drown your voice with its roar, nor again sink the world into the deep waters of chaos and old night. In this age the earth will help the woman; the spiritual idea will be understood. Those ready for the blessing you impart will give thanks. The waters will be pacified, and Christ will command the wave.
