New Mile Hi Sanctuary: Idea Becomes Reality
Author: Jean Torkelson Source: Rocky Mountain "News”
Title: NEW MILE HI SANCTUARY: IDEA BECOMES REALITY
A vision, dressed head-to-toe in blazing, squint-your-eyes-white, glided up the steps of Mile Hi Church in Lakewood. Barbara McGhee was trying to match the energy of the new $10 million sanctuary. It opened Sunday, six years to the day the idea was launched.
"I just had a thing this morning - I felt new and clean and white," said McGhee, 60. She wore a white crochet cap over her shaved head, a beaded Indian pendant on her chest, giant hoop earrings and a long, white cotton dress. The ensemble reflected her American Indian heritage and her rapport with "Wiccan" nature religions.

I have no problem with organizations like Religious Science, but: it really annoys me when people coat-tail on Wicca to try & broaden their appeal while having no understanding of Wicca and neither the ability nor desire to actually do it. The author described this woman as wearing " a white crochet cap over her shaved head, a beaded Indian pendant on her chest, giant hoop earrings and a long, white cotton dress" and said the get-up was intended to reflect her affinity with Wicca and Native American spirituality.
Humbug!
None of those things actually have anything to do with Wicca, and only the pendant -- depending on what it actually was -- might have come out of any of the many Native American traditions. Sounds like just another aging hippie to me (and I'm an aging hippie, so I know one when I see one.)
When will people stop confusing "big, shiny, & expensive" with "spiritual?" Colorado is blessed with some of the most spectacular scenery in the country - - go out there, lean against a blue spruce and look at the skyline of the Continental Divide, and get in touch with the Divine. As my grandfather, who lived in Colorado all his life, used to say "When I want to talk to God, I go up into the mountains where He lives."

It says "the largest U.S. church in the 80-year-old religious science movement" but that really should read "the largest U.S. church in the 80-year-old Religious Science movement". Religious Science is the name of a specific New Thought teaching. It is not to be confused with Christian Science or Scientology .. those are very different from what I read. This church teaches some of the same things found in the book "The Secret".
