The church is also the place where we find the center for our being. In a very real sense, it is our true home. No matter how far I go or grow, I never wholly leave myself or where I have been. The axes of my life may extend farther and farther, but they still meet at the center and where they meet, there I am. And where I am there also is my home.
Home is where the heart is.
Strip away the cliche and you find the truth in it. Where you are most present, most alive, most human, that is home. I think that's what we all want. In the fast moving and rapid changing pace of today's world, we want to come to a place that nourishes our fullest humanity. We want a religion to bind up our wounds without adding to our pain.
