Publisher Description
In the midst of dramatic changes in Western Christianity, internationally respected spiritual leader, peacemaker, and scholar John Philip Newell offers the hope of a fresh stirring of the Spirit among us. He invites us to be part of a new holy birth of sacred living. Speaking directly to the heart of Christians―those within the well-defined bounds of Christian practice and those on the disenchanted edges―as well as to the faithful and seekers of other traditions, he explores eight major features of a new birthing of Christianity: - Coming back into relationship with the Earth as sacred - Reconnecting with compassion as the ground of true relationships - Celebrating the Light that is at the heart of all life - Reverencing the wisdom of other religious traditions - Rediscovering spiritual practice as the basis for transformation - Living the way of nonviolence among nations - Looking to the unconscious as the wellspring of new vision - Following love as the seed-force of new birth in our lives and world
