Another one bites the dust....
Robert Schuller's mega-church, the Crystal Cathedral, has filed for bankruptcy.

1. Pluto in Capricorn...?
all the walls of the big, false, towers are crumbling... banks, churches, etc...

we will hopefully realize that we are more than these establishments, that communities and hearts and hands are the things that matter

2. I hope that I start seeing this more in my area.
I hope churches which are truly based in love remain if they help people to connect with Source. (Some people need this; they don't feel that they can do it on their own.) However, good riddance to any religious institution which teaches any kind of hatred or bigotry.

3. ... every time i see a 'megachurch' ...
... i am reminded of the movie "The Preacher's Wife" with Whitney Houston, and the sub-story about how the town millionaire wants to build a megachurch in place of the old, crumbly community center/church so many grew up with, and how in the end, it comes back to where you find love, and home, and family, and faith - not how expensive your parking lot is or how many gold statues you have on your altar.
