I began my journey here because this was one of two places that shaped my understanding of God during my teens and early 20s. This has always been a place where I could get my head right. So when my life’s road brought me back to the Chicago area a few months ago, it only made sense to start my search for God in this place.
This place is a cathedral to God. The way stadiums are cathedrals to sports. The way skyscrapers are cathedrals to capitalism. This places is designed to make a statement , about God and about the community that assembles here every week.
And statements matter. Especially for this neighborhood, which borders the campus of an Ivy League level university that trains people to run the world; but also borders a community that is fighting to protect its youth from running the streets.
I see the excellence of God in this building they’ve constructed. I see experience in their decoration of this space, and of themselves.
So I am ready. Surrounded by people who present themselves with excellence, and who care for this space with excellence, to hear something about an excellent God.
The journey begins in the Woodlawn neighborhood of the south side, at the corner 63rd Street and Dorchester.
