We often speak of needing to choose between religion and spirituality, religion embodying rules, rituals, and institutions and spirituality lying in the realm of personal expression and the heart. We will consider whether this dichotomy was expressed in the ancient Temple and hope to open space for a full and integrated experience of worship.
