Welcome
Many people today long for the warmth of community, a sense of purpose, and experiences of authentic spirituality.
At the same time there is more than ever a need for self determination, personal freedom, and moral autonomy—over one’s life, in body, soul, and spirit. We want to belong but not be bound.
Christianity often has the reputation that it asks its practitioners to follow rules and bow to an outer authority, or that it lacks connection to the complexities of modern life, or that it can become empty and performative, rather than awakening individual moral capacity to respond to life with love—and become a real force for healing and transformation.
In the name of the god of love, who we see in the being of Jesus Christ, indeed, immeasurable harm has been done to individuals and specific communities seen to be on the margins of the privileged center, in the name of “righteousness”—but in fact, out of fear and hatred of those who are different.
It was for all of humanity—and especially those living at the margins—that Christ came.
The spirit of Christ as we understand him—the divine Son God who came to awaken the divine ‘I AM’ bestowed upon every human being— asks us to make ‘following Christ’ a path to the highest individual freedom and simultaneously to an awakened sense of community through a renewed closeness to the divine spark alive within every human being and in all of creation.
To serve both – the strengthening of personal agency and the deepening of spiritual communion – this is the central concern of
The Christian Community, Movement for Religious Renewal.
Our membership is of many minds, but we share a search for the real, living experience of the Spirit.
In the words of Jesus to the disciples: COME AND SEE!
