Let me start off by saying I've been a Christian my whole life and continue to be today WHILE I…read morestill do programs thru Scientology. 15 years ago I was introduced to Scientology by an employer who used the communication courses offered there. It really helped accelerate my business career and helped me improve my personal relationships. I use what I've learned through Scientology EVERY DAY to live a better, happier life. Did I take a personality test when I started? Yes, because that is how they determine what classes/courses would most help you. I took more classes (called courses) that continued to help me in different areas of my life - including better understanding spirituality. The more classes I take, the better I seem to do in life (personally and professionally). When my daughter was 8, she experienced some anxiety issues and doctors wanted to put her on drugs. As a chiropractor, we wanted to explore other options. I can truthfully and heart-warminly say that through Scientology practices (called auditing - their term for "counseling" basically) she had a full recovery and is now a happy, healthy, non-drugged 14 year old normal teenager. I've taken some scientology parenting courses and it improved my relationship with my kids. I've also done marriage classes and yep, helped my marriage too. So I guess what I am saying is this. There is no harm in trying things that won't hurt you but might actually help. Do people call other religions "cults"? Sure! Are the people that volunteer at the Church to help other people live better lives passionate about what they do? Yep - just like Christian missionaries - because all the ones I have met have had their lives improved because of it. I felt the need to post this review because I was concerned that some people might not give Scientology a chance to help them. Many people go to traditional counseling but I found that didn't provide permanent resolution to many of my issues. Scientology did...and did it without brain-altering drugs. I am eternally grateful to the developer of Scientology and all the committed staff there for helping me and my family. Like Chiropractic, healthy eating and vitamins, many "new" approaches are often scorned by mainstream public opinion initially. After watching many different approaches over my 44 years here, I believe that time will prove that Scientology has some real solutions to human problems.

The orchestral Masses are unique in the United States and rare in the world. The Twin Cities Catholic Chorale sings about 24 settings of the Mass, using the treasury of sacred music from the classical and Romantic eras (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak, etc.) Powerful, beautiful music that lifts hearts and minds to God, presented in a gorgeous Austrian baroque church.

Fabric is "contemporary", but it isn't meant to mirror a mega-church experience, it's about engaging in multi-week conversations with connections in the community. I'm sometimes surprised the attendance at Field School on Sunday morning doesn't approach a thousand, because it's exactly the right type of spiritual community for this century. Joining a Fabric group is encouraged but isn't mandated. Groups meet every week or whenever you can make it. Most people choose to become part of one, because it's a way to continue to engage on deeper issues together over a cup of tea or glass of beer. Groups can help us engage with each other's lives at a deeper level but also allow focus to reflect together on the current Fabric conversation. Some have critiqued Fabric, labeling it as surface level, due to a departure from traditional church doctrine and related sermons. I'd argue on the contrary, that it's far from shallow, and rather the opposite. If it is important to you to have someone tell you what you believe about God or Jesus or Creation or Heaven, down to your last thought, then Fabric isn't for you. But, most of us aren't like that. Life isn't like that. Life is about pursuing hopes and dreams, refining our values, developing family and friend relationships, and asking curious questions, which certainly involves asking questions about God and what they means for us. As such, Fabric is simply about living that life in community. Fabric isn't a Church, but Fabric IS church -- For the Rest of Us. Fabric's invitation could well be: Come for the music, stay for the conversation. All are welcome here, EVEN those who identify as Christians, and many of us do. Your faith is important to us. But that goes for everyone who gathers with us. Every person who shows up is important to us, and we are excited to meet you. We want to hear what you are excited about, and we want you in the conversation too!

Fabric Minneapolis is a church community that's made up of people with a wide range of beliefs and…read moreexperiences with church. Some folks have very traditional church backgrounds, some have been deeply harmed by the church, some are neutral about church. We have couples where one has had very positive church experiences and the other is an atheist. What we have in common is a commitment to wrestling together with the big questions of God and the messiness of life. I've been part of the Fabric community for 13 years. Before moving to Minneapolis, I attended a church in Cleveland, OH whose pastor I loved and who walked through important life events with me (e.g. he officiated our wedding, baptised our son). However, with Fabric I've really grown in my understanding of and beliefs about God, Jesus, and the Bible, AND also about being human, parenting, relationships, community. Largely this is because of the conversations that happen not only on Sundays but also with smaller groups during the week. I am connected with so many caring, authentic, curious, good people because of Fabric.

I tried both, the baked was more meaty than the fried, both good. The sides, for me, baked potato, french fries, coleslaw, a cheese filled bread stick and a cookie.
