1172.1A song from the Unitarian Universalist tradition!POWDML::FLANAGANlet your light shineFri Oct 27 1995 09:1425
    WHere is our Holy Church?
    
Where is our holy church?  Where race and class unite as
equal persons in the search for beauty, truth and right.

Where is our holy writ?  where'er a human heart a
sacred torch of truth has lit, by inspiration taught

Where is our holy One?  A mighty host respond, the
people rise in every land to break the captive's bond.

Where is our holy land? Within the human soul,
wherever free minds truly seek, with character the goal.

Where is our paradise? In aspiration's sight,
wherein we hope to see arise ten thousand years of right.

From Singing the living Tradition  hymn 113.
    
    
    THis hymn does a wonderful job of providing a view of Unitarian
    Universalism.   In a different note I was teasing Andreas that he
    should establish a UU fellowship in Zurich.  This is my definition of
    church to which  I was referring in that string.
