This movie is all about a little who clung to the version that he was made for something more. Simon Birch had a big picture perspective and wouldn't allow others to get him caught up in the task at hand. In this scene, which ironically takes place in a church, we see Simon Birch displaying that he is a "Cathedral Building." He has a big picture perspective and a grandiose vision. However, the pastor of the church can't look beyond his own limited view. We would label the pastor as logistical - someone who only sees the here and now. Simon Birch, on the other hand, would be strategic - some who can see how everything fits into a bigger overall plan.
