I have visited The Mother Church in Boston only twice, but I always think of it as home—not because of the location or building, but because of the comforting message of God’s boundless love it brings to humanity. To me, this message is at the heart of the Church’s true substance and essence.
After remotely viewing, from my home, the simulcast of the 2012 Annual Meeting of The Mother Church last June, I was even more convinced of this truth.
The reason for my gratitude for The Mother Church can be explained by the brief period of silent prayer that preceded the audible repetition of the Lord’s Prayer at the end of Annual Meeting. When it came time for silent prayer, I expected to close my eyes for a few moments to bring a gentle conclusion to the event. I did not expect what followed.
