Synopsis

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

Goodreads review by Stephanie

Though I don’t agree with everything in this book it has much to offer. If we worship God as Creator why do we not care for Creation? If we believe “Blessed are the Peacemakers” why do we turn to violence? We have moved through this world as conquerors and not Pilgrims. To paraphrase Gandhi, “ Why d......more

Goodreads review by Ptaylor

I bought this book and began reading it because it was selected for a book discussion at my church. I wound up missing the discussions because of work and family commitments, and I regret that. There is so much here that challenges traditional beliefs and practices. At 124 pages, it's one of the sho......more
