welcome to the story.

Church This would be a pretty cool ad for some church or mission statement or core beliefs or values or something like that. We are committed to exploring Christian Spirituality in a whole new way. We recognize that the world we live in is an entirely different place than it has ever been. Our world has undergone a massive shift. Globalization and post modernity have changed the way we live our lives on every level; socially, politically, economically and spiritually. We feel that too often Christianity has lost touch with where people are really at with their spiritual lives. The language,practice and focus of most contemporary Christianity leaves us cold, so we have decided to do something about it. We are not a typical church, we believe that many of the problems people have with Organized Religion and Christianity in particular is related to a general inflexibility both organizationally and theologically. Instead we call ourselves a spiritual workshop, a 'liquid church' if you will. We are asking lots of questions, toying with ideas, thinking critically, examining religion, faith and spirituality and attempting to reclaim the mystery long left in the dust by black and white theology. The modern world compartmentalized everything. Spiritual life was privatized and separated from the rest of life but we believe that all of life is sacred and that spirituality and faith is something which should permeate all aspects of our lives. With that in mind, we explore many things together, not just religion but the arts, economics, politics, whatever seems appropriate and deserving of our attention and focus. Oscar Wilde once wrote that "nothing is so dangerous as being too modern. One is apt to grow old-fashioned quite suddenly." The Christian Church has married itself to the modern age and become hopelessly out of touch. Our aim is to re-imagine Christian faith and spirituality in our new world. The questions raised by living in a global, pluralistic society are not the same questions which molded and shaped the modern Church. Rather than addressing those issues we choose to find the new questions and wrestle with those. Many of the people who come are committed to a spiritual life rooted in Christianity, but not everybody, and we welcome anyone who wished to come and journey and dialog with us.
