A New Pentecost for Progressive Christians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781631999413)

In a time of seismic spiritual shifts, A New Pentecost for Progressive Christians calls for a resurgence of faith that embraces both contemplation and action.

This book delves into the heart of progressive Christianity, addressing anxieties and uncertainties while envisioning a faith without fences-one that champions love, healing, and justice.

Explore a journey beyond dogma to a spirit-filled movement that honors diversity, science, and the ongoing revelation of God. Discover practical meditations and theological reflections that empower you to 'practice Pentecost, ' reignite your passion, and become a light in the world.

This compelling work invites you to join a spiritual awakening and reclaim your vocation as a companion in healing our nation and planet, envisioning a future filled with hope and transformative action. Dive into a narrative that inspires us to move from desperation to creative transformation, to explore new possibilities and initiate novel programs and worship experiences.

We can join contemplation and activism, and we can move from meditation to making 'good trouble, ' as John Lewis asserts. We can change the world, not as a monolithic, coercive institutional faith, but as a loving open-spirited movement committed to healing the soul of our nation and the planet. A faith without fences, open to the world and welcoming humankind in all its diversity.

For just such a time as this we need a New Pentecost for Progressive Christianity. We can be bold in proclaiming the Way of Jesus the Mystic, Prophet, and Healer in a pluralistic and contentious time.
