Yesterday, the main phase of deconstruction concluded. All that remains are bricks that will be bundled and hauled away and the foundation that will become part of the fill. Our deconstruction graduates will be reassigned to other projects and the wood will become furniture, art and building materials. This has been a long and difficult journey, yet the Church remains. We stand upon a foundation that is not made with hands–a foundation that cannot be shaken. I am reminded of what the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:11: “No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ,” We are and will remain built upon the Rock.
