Meher Archive Center Building—Progress Report

This grand ancient 92-year-old building
has mirrored Baba’s refrain that opposition is a necessary part of any endeavor. It was built to persevere, but for some time has not received the attention it required to maintain its grandeur. Under Peter Nordeen’s direction and with MAC’s commitment we have made every effort to refurbish and nurture this space to meet a level of excellence befitting the Avatar. It’s being built to last. Every inch of this building has received a scrutiny and level of attention to insure it is up to the highest standards.
These archival rooms are really beginning to take shape and resemble what we expect the finished rooms to look like: safe and secure spaces within which will be the home of sacred items related to the advent of the Avatar of the Age, Meher Baba. Much of the labor on this job is tedious, meticulous and time-consuming. It has been immensely more challenging than building something new from scratch. But the results will, we believe, be immensely more gratifying, economically much less expensive and of a higher quality. The building has charm, and will be as solid as a rock—built to last. A rock into which we can all pour our hearts and love into as it becomes a sacred place of pilgrimage for humanity to receive the Grace and Love of the Ancient One. Much of this infrastructure is relevant for both phase two and phase three and render those phases much easier and quicker to finish. We can all be proud and excited to witness the transformation taking place at the Meher Archive Center building. |
MAC—Support the Vision
Financial — a donation at this time will bring us one step closer to completing the infrastructure required to move MAC archival projects into the MAC building, and another step closer to the realization of a dynamic hub for Meher Baba. Volunteer — the work at the MAC building is entering a new, accelerated and exciting phase—we are looking for people in the community who can help out, even for a few hours a week. Many on-site jobs that are very necessary for progress in the work include carpentry, sweeping, sanding, painting, and other clean up jobs. If you have other interests or skills that you can offer, such as phone calling, outreach, fundraising, computer scanning, data entry, events etc., please let us know at [email protected] Jai Baba
As we enter into this final period of completing phase one and receiving a Certificate of Occupancy, let us be mindful of the opportunities being provided by Baba for us to be involved, as called upon by Him, to “spread His message of Love to every corner of the world.” We’d love to have you come by to visit the MAC building as we continue to make steady progress towards our vision of a vibrant hub for Baba!
