Publisher's Synopsis
Mormon Artists Group invited member-authors around the world merely to go to church and write down what they experienced on Sunday. We were curious to know what their buildings looked like, how people arrived at church, who were the members, what they did for a living, what they looked like, how they treated each other, what they talked about, what worried them, what inspired them, how they sang, how they worshipped: what went on. Our authors wrote from their home congregations in Singapore, Australia, Angola, Kuwait, Brazil, and in North America, in Pasadena, Seattle, Mesa, Provo, Chicago, and Harlem, eleven essays altogether. We commonly hear the phrase, "The Church is the same everywhere you go." We set out to explore that idea. The authors don't speak for the world, but their portraits of their congregations offer a hint of what the world of our Church is like and how we are alike (or not) right now.
