I’ve watched the Mark Vernon discussion previously and inspired me to write this: https://agloria.substack.com/p/rewilding-christianity

Christianity is moving to the fringes and is picking up the culturally excluded, the left out and the ‘weirdos’. The Church is currently in the Cultural Underworld, preparing for Christ to bring Her back to life.

Paul I thoroughly enjoy and learn from your YouTube talks but will you please switch your format to refrain from constant ad interruptions? I listen while doing, and cannot constantly ‘skip ad’ — my hands are often in soapy dish water or messy from food prep. Thanks!

Yes to Christianity rewilding!

I was brought back to Christianity at Findhorn of all surprising places, and continue to explore with the help of such valuable sources as Cynthia Bourgeault, David Spangler, Jim Finley, Richard Rohr, Ilia Delio, Elaine Pagels, Buddhism, Mark Vernon, Rupert Sheldrake, Jordan Peterson, Peace Pilgrim, George Fox, John Vervaeke, Alice Bailey, Seth, Dorothy Day, Thich Nhat Hanh, Glenn Clark, Edgar Cayce, Jung, James Hillman, Jonathan Elias (Prayer Cycle), Shrek, Rudolf Steiner, Patrick Ophuls, anyone who speaks of separation and re-integration of opposites, etc etc etc.

As a person environmentally educated, it is perhaps no surprise that I would warn that we are heading into dark and different times. I think we all on some level know that. It is essential that anything connecting us all to greater meaning and purpose thrive. I was raised as an FGC Quaker and I still consider myself a Christian, although many within Christianity tell me I don’t qualify. No matter. That is where I’m planted, and with beautiful species and kingdom -intermingled roots. Any faith with love at its core is equally valuable and needed, and in my biased opinion is part of the grand movement toward what some Christians may label as the ‘universal Christ’ revealed ..

she is us. All of us. Every one of us. We are all needed and wanted.
