The Laboratory of the Sacred:
The laboratory of the sacred: merging spirituality, science, and technology under a larger sky There’s an old story that sets spirituality and science on opposite sides of a courtroom.

There was a time... not so long ago... that the daily hum of American life depended on a man with a horse, a wagon, and a block of frozen water. Before refrigerators, before humming freezers in every garage, there was the iceman. He clomped through neighborhoods at dawn, iron tongs swinging, hoisting hundred-pound slabs into waiting iceboxes. For children, he was a summertime hero. For families, he was survival. For history, he was an empire of frost that melted almost overnight.
