Please consider joining an on-line conversation about Brian McClaren’s book “The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World’s Largest Religion is seeking a new way to be Christian.”
Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good.
Many people experience Christianity as a system of belief, focused on an exclusive Supreme Being who favors some and rejects others, and is defended by a set of change-averse, self-protecting institutions. In The Great Spiritual Migration, Brian McLaren proposes that this conventional understanding of Christianity is ripe for a conversion: from system of belief to way of life, from exclusive Supreme Being to the loving, healing, reconciling Spirit embodied in Jesus, and from an organized institutional religion that supports an unjust status quo to an organizing movement-building religion that helps a better world be born.
Conversations will be held on-line on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 starting on March 28th and last about an hour. The first one will feature a video of the author and subsequent conversations will be based on the ideas in the book. You are welcome to participate even if you do not read the book itself.
