Cathedrals of Connection

You're invited to the simplest church on Earth-the space between you and the person next to you. Our world is suffering from an epidemic of loneliness and disconnection. We are all longing for each other. We want meaningful relationships and vibrant family lives. We want neighbors we know and care about. We want depth and substance to our friendships and our daily interactions at home, at work, and in our community. We want to have the conversations necessary to fix an ailing and divided society. And we are struggling. Written as an interconnected and compounding series of personal reflections, Cathedrals of Connection gently offers people struggling with faith an accessible on-ramp to their own spiritual journey. Rooted in a progressive, ecumenical, and at times slightly irreverent Christian perspective, with Biblical passages anchoring every chapter, author Matt Mattson reveals an ordinary mysticism found in the common interactions of our daily lives. Matt, who has spent over two decades helping people gather together in simple, sacred ways, invites readers to construct their own cathedrals of connection, to erect their own temples of togetherness, to build their own churches in the space between themselves and every person they encounter.
