This very angular building is Church of the Holy Wisdom. It strikes me as austere, but the trees and bushes and sunlight make it seem less so. It also seems affluent to me, which is not surprising, given that it is Anglican and Scarborough is still fundamentally a British settlement.
Now, I had the opportunity to visit last week and even went inside to experience wisdom in a way I often do and have certainly done within this very church many times. I have even shared wisdom of my own here. Or at least hope. And experience. Sadly, last week was the last time in this place for a gathering of the type that guides my spirituality and has been my salvation in this life.
That sadness was offset by great wisdom and strength offered by one of my fellows. An impassioned talk that was, to me, reminiscent of a fiery pastor, but gentler and humbler. He definitely spoke of faith, of God, and of his own salvation.
I am certain this place of worship will continue to offer a sanctuary for many, regardless of their specific faith or spiritual bent, and will remain a font of holy wisdom.
Naturally, they have a website: https://holywisdom.ca/
