Welcome to Living Stone Foundation, a Judeo-Christian refuge that proclaims the Word of God in stone.
Here in New England, we are very fortunate to have an abundance of stone beneath our feet. Although there
are many different types of stone, granite in various colors and grains is most prevalent. It's hardness
and durability makes many stone masons prefer its use.
Living Stone Foundation was incorporated in the year 2000, as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. As
a charitable and spiritual organization, we wish to exault the name of Jesus through His Gospel. The
inscriptions are taken directly from the Bible, preferably the King James version. See
Our Purpose.
The real beauty of the stone here at Living Stone Foundation is that 90% of it is rejected material. These
"rejects" found in the scrap piles at the quarries are eventually crushed into trap rock and sold as
aggregate stone. Is it not ironic that this rejected stone is exactly what Jesus was referred to
(1 Peter 2:4)
and what we are also?

LIVING STONES
We entered his domain.
A place of stone.
Lifeless piles.
Intert
Unyielding
Speechless rock.
Tenderly he reaches out
Touching cold granite.
Seeing what no else sees,
Living Stones.
Amid sweat and flying sand
He carves.
Reaching to the vision
God has placed within.
The day the rocks will cry out
And proclaim the Glory of God.
As we walk among the pillars
Suddenly
We, too, hear the pulsing rhythm
Words without sound.
Stones
Moving hearts
Yielding minds
Speaking truth.
Built upon the Cornerstone
The Living Word
Embedded in the rocks
Becomes his vision
Living Stones.
-- Kathryn Shaffer, 1995
