THANK YOU!

There is no question that the voices of marginalized people are found in the Bible if you look carefully. The New Testament also presents a picture of a beautiful man who talked about a God of love and forgiveness and who urged his followers to create communities that practiced nonviolence, inclusion, and the pursuit of social and economic justice.

Imagine . . . you begin the day in the classroom of the earth, learning about God’s good creation by feeling it, working with it, helping coax its fruit to maturity.

Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines sat down this week for an interview with Ciprian Khlud about the basics of Progressive Christianity.

This book offers a treasure-trove of practical tools for grounding ourselves emotionally and spiritually amid both the long-term crises and the related challenges that confront us moment to moment as we navigate unprecedented events and their invariable consequences. 

The mystic seeks direct experience of the divine to explore its perceptual, emotional, and metaphysical nature. For the mystic, the entire universe is conscious and alive, saturated by an all-encompassing eternal and loving Presence.

“The Way” integrates religion and science and reconciles Eastern and Western worldviews, confirming with the mystics and the scientists that everyone is related, and everything is connected.

Some of the most important aspects of Jesus teachings were repressed from the beginning. The Hebrews started the repression. The Roman Catholic Church expanded it. And by and large the Protestants followed.

Who is Jesus to you?
What informs and shapes your view of Jesus and his work?

I’m currently sitting in the 10+-year-old chair, listening to the sounds of rain on the top of the tent, and writing the words that will turn into this very article you are currently reading. It is my tradition to spend the evening and the day of Yom Kippur in a tent.

This is the first in a series that looks at the life of Jesus and contrasts the story that has come down through the ages with what probably really happened.

Spiritual Direction is a vocation that supports others as they explore and deepen their spirituality. Eco-Spiritual Direction includes the rest of the sacred and alive world in that companionship.

One of the things I’ve gathered from reading scholarship about the historical Jesus is very little about him can be said with certainty. Historians generally agree he existed and was crucified, but, beyond that, almost everything is debated.

My hope is that you are interested in changing and evolving in your life. In order to change, we need to know where we came from, what we were originally taught (in religious school or by our parents and teachers), whether it is still applicable today, and what new directions we might want to follow.

This book will help you examine your beliefs–where they came from, whether they are still applicable today, how they have changed over the years–and decide what new directions you might want to pursue.

Do you feel your spiritual life is dry, ineffectual, and lifeless? Ready for new, life-changing experiences? Take a deep dive into a life-changing book.

Christians are not widely known for authenticity. You may even feel stifled in the congregation you’ve been part of for years—and you wouldn’t be the only one.

But sometimes, along the way, we get off the train
and, startled by beauty, question the whole routine.

“The Fugitives of Gethsemane” dramatizes the story about four apostles during the 3 days between the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus.
