PAVE WHERE THEY WALK
A leading architect once built a cluster of office buildings set in a central green. The landscape crew asked him where he wanted the sidewalks between the buildings. His reply: “Just plant grass between the buildings.” By late summer the new lawn was laced with pathways of trodden grass. The paths followed the most efficient line between the point of connection, turned in according to traffic flow. In the fall the architect simply paved in the pathways. Not only did the paths have a design beauty, but they responded directly to user needs. So it is with ministries in the church. Structure should respond to user needs. From Reader’s Digest
