    This House

 

 This house is for the ingathering of

nature and human nature.

 

 It is a house of friendships, a

haven in trouble, an open room

for the encouragement of our struggle.

 

 It is a house of freedom, guarding

the dignity and worth of every person.

 

 It offers a platform for the free

voice, for declaring, both in times

of security and danger, the full

and undivided conflict of opinion.

 

 It is a house of truth-seeking, where

scientists can encourage devotion

to their quest, where mystics can

 abide in a community of searchers.

 

 It is a house of art, adorning its

celebrations with melodies and handiworks.

 

 It is a house of prophesy, outrunning

times past and times present

in visions of growth and progress.

 

 This house is a cradle for our dreams,

the workshop of our common endeavor.

 

By Kenneth L. Patton,

Minister of The Unitarian Society of Ridgewood,

1964-1986
