Your (kind of) Church

The strictest definition of “Church” is a building that is used for religious services and public worship. Yet a more open ended interpretation of “Church” may consist of feeling a Zen connection and a peaceful communion within your personal temple, indulging in your spiritual devotion to your sacred calling. Your “Church” may well be a building but it could also be but not limited to:

Taking a long drive in a vehicle alone listening to exactly what moves you

Hiking a trail alone

Walking along a beach alone while watching and listening to the eternal waves come ashore

Meditation (alone or guided with a group)

Yoga (alone or guided with a group)

Singing (alone or with others)

Writing (alone or with others)

Playing an instrument (alone or with others)

Chanting with others

Painting alone

Drawing alone

Gardening alone

Sewing alone

Repairing or restoring a vehicle alone

Cooking (alone or with others)

Baking alone

Concentrated intricate craftwork alone

Solo physical movement

If you believe the human body is a temple then it is our duty to use whatever vocation we find ourselves in toward divine service for our fellow human beings.
