ILLINOIS---Celebrating 101 years, Unity Temple of Oak Park, IL is a congregation in the Unitarian Universalist tradition. They are not Christians. They are no Jews, and symbolism is not part of their tradition but this all-stone Prarie architecture, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, aptly reflects the denomination's values of "compassion, peace, justice, and respect for the earth." Pastor Alan Taylor said, if he were to design a church symbol, it would be "the earth". Ernest, Quinton, and I worshipped there on a very hot Sunday (no air-conditioning), but as Quinton said afterwards, the experience was still very "cool."
