In summary - If our story could be told in a fable, it would go something like this :

A traveler came upon three men working. He asked the first man what he was doing and the man said he was laying bricks. He asked the second man the same question and he said he was putting up a wall. When he got to the third man and asked him what he was doing he said he was building a cathedral.

If you don’t mind moving bricks to build a beautiful cathedral, we want you on our team.
