I am pleased to see this beautiful building erected in the midst of so much commercialism. It is no easy task to shepherd a project like this. There is always criticism.
At a dinner some time before the death of Jesus, some of those present, including Judas, objected to the "waste" of the costly perfume lavished on Jesus by the woman of Bethany. But Jesus defended the woman's actions as good and timely, and he was certainly not indifferent to the poor. (Matthew 26). I think the story applies here, too.
