New Zealand Odyssey: Higher Thought Temple, Union Street, Auckland






This odd little building stands out from undistinguished neighbours in an equally undistinguished part of Auckland; it's at a junction of roads where most motorists would spend their time waiting for the traffic lights to change rather than studying the architecture. I drew it in 1987, it's still there.

The Higher Thought Centre was (is?) a non-denominational church, set up to enable all people to study the principles of religion - all religions -  free from restrictions or spiritual dogma. It's a pity its principles are not more widely practised; to my mind religion has caused more misery in the world than just about anything else.
