For our last few days in Dallas I decided we should visit some of the large well-known places of worship in Dallas. This was partly due to a new family member telling me "we do sports, family and God" (pronounced Gaad). Interesting that she should say it in that order.
Texans are very passionate about their sports teams. So we visited the home of the base ball team - the Texas Rangers, the new futuristic Dallas Cowboys stadium, took in an NBA play-offs game at the Dallas Mavericks and went to Prestonwood - a church of 26,000. All were very impressive. No one does a show quite like the Texans in a sports stadium or in a church. The similarities were striking - large auditorium, high tech visuals, loud music, cheer leaders, passionate crowd, large shop and very well organised (at Prestonwood first-time visitors are indentified and park at the very front of the parking lot).
Only one had a powerful quiet presence.
