YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

I went to Mile-Hi Church in Lakewood, Colorado. It's based on the Religious Science spiritual principles of Ernest Holmes, a major New Thought leader. (They are now called Centers for Spiritual Living.) I've been wanting to visit this church for a long time. And wouldn't you know it, my friend Jon McCray (from the Whaddoyoumeme YouTube channel) just happens to live in Colorado. So, of course, I had to bring him along to the nonsense. We went to the service and then had a very interesting talk with one of the practitioners afterward.
