"In
New Harmony, Indiana, there is a modern place of prayer that is called
the Roofless Church. It has four defining walls, but there is no roof,
and it sits open to the elements . . . Wherever our sacred sites are, we
must ensure that the language we use, the rituals we celebrate, and the
symbols we employ keep pointing to the great living cathedral of earth,
sea, and sky. At best our so-called sacred sites are like side chapels
that need to open onto the living sanctuary of the universe."
