What does a church have? A father.
Peter means Pater, father. Think "at the potter's house". What does a potter do? Shape mud into urns, he gives form to the formless.
What does a child have? A father. The child needs a father to give form to his formless mind.
Church is a physical place meant to resemble the mind. You go into the church (mind) to pray and respect God (consciousness).
With the Temple of Solomon, there are two pillars outside the door you must pass thru to enter the temple, called Boaz and Jachin (but that's not important to the metaphor). These pillars are symbolic for going beyond the known realms of mankind in the old world (beyond physical/material world). You see, the pillars were a copy of the pillars at the Straight of Gibraltar, the pillars of Hercules, which marked the gateway to the vast ocean, an endless unknown territory. This is much like the mind. So you enter Solomon's Temple, passing thru the pillars, and it's symbolic of entering your mind where God is.
Jesus walks on water indeed. Like the analogy of Solomon's Temple and the Straight of Gibraltar, Jesus is exploring that unknown vast ocean of consciousness. He walks upon consciousness (water).
