I'm on one of my short trips again - this time in Auckland.
As I was getting to where I needed to go this morning (down to the Quays) I felt drawn to go down a side street. There were a couple of churches on that street - but one drew my eye. As I was walking past it - I had a look in - and considered going inside. But I thought - "I'm not even Christian. It wouldn't feel right stepping in, just out of curiosity". And I passed a sign where it had the times for Mass, and felt that yes - there ARE times for congregation.
And yet - walking further - this was one Long side of the church! - I saw the back entrance, and I had to act finally! and go inside.
There was just one older guy in the second back pew - and so I just sat in the last pew on the back right.
There was a kind of Cleaner around moving the place, tidying things up. But otherwise - empty.
I sat quietly, and felt the Vibrations of the Location. There was definitely a sincere respect and worship in place which was all around. On a supportive ley line? A history of truly decent ministers - which had led their congregation well? Powerful members of the community who were TRULY positive, and left their stamp?
Who knows. I stayed there for ten minutes - not really thinking, not looking at my phone, just eyes ahead, and immersed in the Atmosphere.
There was genuine Benediction present. Benediction meaning 'well wishes' - the opposite of malevolence.
It was just a short moment of my day - but truly impactful.
