A church is where an altar is, and the presence of the altar is what makes the church holy. A church that does not inspire love has a hidden altar that is not serving the purpose for which God intended it. I must found His church on you, because those who accept me as a model are literally my disciples. Disciples are followers, and if the model they follow has chosen to save them pain in all respects, they are unwise not to follow him.T-6.1.8:4-7

Jesus tells us in this passage that on the altar of his church there is the model of love. Jesus told his followers that the way to the Kingdom of God is to love as I have loved. When we follow his example we find peace and joy instead of pain.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search will bring us eventually to what the Beatles sang, “Love is all there is.”
Today it is suggested that we ask ourselves, “What is it that I am deep down looking for?” What values do I place on my interior altar?
