from his last visit. He took us
on an incredible journey to discover Jesus. Borg argues that how we see
Jesus affects how we see Christianity, and reveals a new perspective
that can overcome the differences between the literalists and the
progressives, a path that emphasizes "the way" of Jesus, the original
name of the Jesus movement.
He introduced us to a Jesus we'd never really met before, a religious revolutionary who brought transformation, not doctrine. Jesus remains the decisive revelation of God, but we now see him as both a reality and a role model, centred in God, focused on both personal and political transformation, emphasizing practices rather than beliefs, and exemplifying a faith characterized by deep commitment and gentle certitude.
You are always welcome to join our exploration of faith.

Quotes "It has meant a safe haven, a place to find a
listening ear, and a place to find forgiveness and hope. It has also
meant a strong challenge to orthodoxy and the status quo. This is a
church that dares us to live our lives as the radical Christ did.
It's not always comfortable. Transformation never is. I live for
those moments of clarity and soaring joy." |
