my burden is light...and so is this cross
Here ar right, Gavin Friday and Bono ponder the cross made of light
at the "Church of the Light" in Japan,
In spite of its expensive design by architect Tadao Ando, and it's UCC affiliation, some consider it an emerging/organic/missional congregation of sorts...it's in a residential neighborhood, and the size of a house, for example..
..and it was almost built without a roof!
"At this intersection of light and solid the occupant is meant to become aware of the deep division between the spiritual and the secular within himself or herself.'- Ando

very cool design. Awesome concept. Only thing is...I don't think there is a deep divide between spiritual and secular. Maybe the divide is between God's perfect will, and the lousy things we do to ourselves and others. God's holiness versus sin.
ReplyDeleteI know, that part hit me too. He may be lamenting the divide..
ReplyDeleteI need to reread the interview
Thanks for commenting
