Laboring on the mural...

... at the rebuilt Catholic Church on Library Mall here in Madison, photographed today. The long view, with the Bible verse...

... and the closeup, with a view of the painter:

ADDED: I’m told it’s not painting but mosaic.

How will the Bible deal with robots?

Looks beautiful so far. Nice!

"How will the Bible deal with robots?"

It probably won't change. Christians, however, will likely welcome the robots that refill the coffee dispensers, and, in the case of churches that meet in non-church spaces, set up and take down all the chairs.

I was thinking in relation to the church's Bible inscription, "...and I will give you rest."

A personal, working robot would give that quotation real meaning.

"How will the Bible deal with robots?"

Depends on what the robot does. If your robot gores your neighbors droid, then you'll have to sell your robot and divide the price between you and your neighbor.

If your robot causes serious injury, then processor for processor, grasping tool for grasping tool, motorized track for motorized track, plasma burn for plasma burn, dent for dent.

If someone digs a hole and your robot falls into it and is destroyed, then the hole digger has to pay for the loss and is responsible for all recycling costs.

They allow churches in Madison? Huh. Oh well, in 50 years it will be a mosque.

When will the mural be viewed as a confederate memorial?

The best part of Handel's "He shall feed his flock" is when the soprano comes in with that verse.

Heroic struggle of the little guys to finish the mural.

Great setting of the "Come to me all ye who labor" verses from H. Schutz's Symphoniae Sacrae, Book One.

I got baptized at Saints Peter & Paul Church in North Beach in SF. Stunningly beautiful church - I think Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe there. Lotta Italians still there off COLUMBUS Ave.

@ Bay Area Guy Check out the chapel at the Carmelite monastery across from USF (Cristo Rey) if you haven't already. It's a gem. Even has a baldacchino. The nuns sing like angels.

Is it possible that this is St. Paul's University Catholic Center? I worshiped there in the mid-late 80's and it resembled the inside of a cement mixer with Soviet-era furnishings. This looks magnificent. I am grateful for that place, nonetheless, as it is what kept me Catholic during my law school years.
