Questhaven

The church has no altar inside

Today we bring you news from Questhaven. Questhaven is non denominational Christian church founded by Flower Newhouse. They seem to run along the same lines as Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship in Encinitas (see my previous posts).

Well, the church and its surroundings are located in the dry hills. It was very hot today, like 100 degrees so we did not feel like walking one of their trails.

The church is executed in a typical instant American church style architecture, quite ugly. The other buildings look exactly the same. The landscaping is good though and there is a typical maze that you can walk with a great distant view.

The maze offers a wonderful distant view

They offer retreat facilities where you can rent a room for the same price as an average motel room. You must bring your own food though.

We met a couple of women there and they were very nice. They gave us a ton of literature with propaganda that overloaded my BS quotent for today so I still feel a bit weird. We mentioned pranic healing as it turned out they run a pranic healing clinic there. We might want to go but it's only once a months.

It is not a monastery like we were led to believe but a church with a staff living on site. A good place to walk.

Surprisingly they have a few Hindu style statuettes scattered in the landscape. Yet when I mentioned Deer Park Monastery (see previous posts) they pulled back and said they have never been there. They did not seem very interested. I wonder who installed the statures.
