Does God vomit at the thought of gay and lesbian people? That’s the graphic image that O’Neal Dozier, pastor of Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach Florida, uses.

The Protester has been elevated by Time Magazine to a richly deserved new status. When you claim your voice as an individual you become more fully alive. When your voice joins together with the voice of others for the well-being of many you become more fully human. The Protesters invite us to new awareness about [...]

A blog conversation between Robert V. Taylor and Andrew Russell about the world premiere of a play in which Robert is one of the characters.
The Thin Place is an intriguing title for the play you have conceived! In Celtic and other traditions the thin places are those borderlands where human life, the Holy and creation meet. They are openings into new insight. How does The Thin Place offer such an opening?

Does the turning of a year invite some spiritual optimism and hope for what lies ahead? Joyful, festive celebrations express a spirituality of delight and feasting. But is there something that reminds us of the other dimensions of a spirituality of oneness, of unity and of justice for all? I believe there is.

Is there a spirituality to Christmas that reaches beyond religion and Christianity? I believe so. It is more than gift giving, baubles and Santa’s that draw so many non-Christians to this holiday.

Bus Wars are a new front in the battle over God, goodness and freedom of speech. In Portland Oregon, king size ads are on 10 of the city’s buses asking: “Are you good without God?

Is this a strike against religion and spirituality or is it an invitation to what it means to be ethical? It might just be a reminder to get down from our perch and realize that we’re all made for goodness – no matter where we stand on the G question.
