@sylviabrownegroup: My mother, Sylvia Browne, always talked about how God is everywhere. And while gathering in a spiritual place can be beneficial for the soul and fulfill our need for community, it is not necessary to become connected to God or strengthen your spirituality. The Temple of God is within you. It is not confined to the four walls of a church. You can connect with God wherever you are, because that connection has always existed within you.
