But it reminded me of Philocrites’s description of C Major worship. The canon was, of course, the “where no man has gone before” Eucharistic Prayer C, which should never be used unless you sing “Earth and All Stars“. Lord’s Prayer was the “sins” version that I can never remember or abide. The service music was Richard Proulx: yuck. But the kicker was this parish’s Rogation Day tradition of inflicting upon the rector a chasuable that looked like it was pulled from the wardrobe room of a production of The Mikado.

But I was thinking of the mural at the Abraham Lincoln Center/People's Church with its mural, complete with scientist in lab coat with test tube. I've only heard it described. Does anyone have a picture of it? Have never been to Chicago — save changing flights — at all.

One of the things I love about the worship space is the way it incorporates symbols of professions and labor, along with symbols of the natural world and universe, into the ornament (yes, ornament in a UU meeting house!) of the building. These are inlaid in beautifully colored stone in the walls and lend an air both of modernity and tradition. If the language of reverence includes symbols, I think the design of First Unitarian is a good example of religious humanism (in the broades sense) that can speak to a variety of theological perspectives.
