As my visits have increased I've discovered fun activities to participate in beyond the Sunday services. Some of my favorites have been 4-6 week book studies of favorite authors. Beyond their great staff of licensed spiritual counselors the center draws educators and other musicians from all over the USA. They offer a richness of support and connectedness I feel lucky to have found. -- Stephanie

The I AM Sanctuary is a fascinating religious site. It's got giant pictures of eyes, depictions of…read morethe Violet Flame, a statue of George Washington, and Gustave Dore's engravings of angels done entirely in purple. In fact, the most sacred room is COMPLETELY PURPLE. The I AM Fellowship is more famous because of its successor, the Church Universal and Triumphant, the apocalyptic group led by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who passed away last year. An elderly man at the I AM Sanctuary will give a nice, friendly tour, speak of his devotion to Saint Therese of Lisieux and Our Lady of Medjugorje. Surprisingly, this New Agey building dates back to the early 20th century. The I AM sanctuary is the place to be!

Our guide…read more(Terry) provided history of Bishop Lamy's work in Santa Fe, and with help from the Jewish Community at the time. That's why you'll see the Hebrew for God at the entrance to the Basilica. Apparently, the statue of Bishop Lamy was also an espionage meeting point during the Manhattan Project. There there's the La Conquistadora Chapel: the only surviving portion of an older church destroyed in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. It houses a 30-inch wooden statue of the Virgin Mary brought from Spain in 1624, making it the oldest representation of the Blessed Virgin in the United States. At the entrance is the statue of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American canonized by the Catholic Church. Rather than traditional Mohawk attire, she is depicted in Native Pueblo style. And there's more, and something to discover for yourself as you wander in. Helpful docents were available just into the Church during our visit. There's also a pretty good gift shop just as you come in.

I was in awe of every part as it uplifted my heart and inspired my soul. Being the Christmas season, there were additional adornments such as a stunning tin decorated tree and an intricately hand-carved wood nativity. We also had the privilege to see a children's nativity and songs. It was so touching and those putting it on invites us to join and enjoy a meal with them.

There are always new lectures, classes and activities. The atmosphere is one of calm and unity--such a relief given the chaos of the world these days.

Growing up in Philly, synagogue membership was never part of my Jewish life. I had attitude. But…read moreI also had identity, and a deep desire to learn and express. I walked in to TBS 30 years ago, and found in this community an acceptance I never knew growing up. I felt welcome and even comfortable in services, classes, rituals, celebrations, and events, tho I know no Hebrew. Learning and experiencing the joys of Judaism; struggling together through its challenges, replaces presumptions. My voice and questions are always respected - of course agreement is entirely optional! I've witnessed numerous acts of compassion and kindness - that's the heart of TBS. TBS is my spiritual home, and the TBS community my extended family.

This chapel just off the Plaza did not disappoint! Out of curiosity, I read a couple of the other reviews before I began writing about my own experience. It's a chapel, so I wasn't expecting the tour I had at the Vatican. It's small and quaint, which is reflective of most religious edifices in the West built in the mid-1800s. The story of the stranger, the staircase and the miracle is fascinating. Whether you are a believer or not, the spiral structure is a delightful marvel. The detail and craftsmanship of the room itself are inspiring for anyone interested in architecture. It just glows and feels sacred. The cover is $5, which is nothing. I'd trade a burger for another trip through those doors.

I started small, with their zoom poetry class, and the more people I met, the more I fell in love with the church and wanted to do more. Now I am going to in-person events and they are always super cool with everyone doing whatever they want to feel safe. They even provide masks for some events. Such decent, open-minded, quality people here. They have always made me feel super welcome and I just love being a part of all the groups I am in. They've never pressured me about joining, nor have they ever made me feel less than welcome in any way. I just treasure the friends I am making. And the revs (both gals) are fantastic humans.

We joined in September/October and…read morethought our pledge was going to the following year, but they INSISTED we pay in full for that year. They were very rude. They did not tell us about the Friend status which is a non-paying member. They immediately denied us access to the Neighborhood Group without even asking if we wanted to remain on a Friends status instead of Member status. This church is about how much money you can give them - then you're on the In. Otherwise, forget it.
