SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 148

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HOLINESS

+ Global spirituality is not solely concerned with the coming together of different religions, but with following a divine call to love in a new way, to be holier. It is a sacred experience on the human horizon that is drawing people toward a mystical, rather than religious expression of faith.

+ We will become holier as we share what Brother Wayne Teasdale calls “the shared mystic heart beating in the center of the world’s deepest spiritual traditions.” Brother Wayne has offered us a powerful vision of the holy movement he calls InterSpirituality which is destined to transform the planet from a destructive exclusiveness to a creative inclusiveness.  A new, deep  and compassionate holiness is emerging on our planet.  This is what our practicing is all about.  

The InterSpirituality movement is growing because of the innovative work of many emerging leaders including Edward Bastian of the Spiritual Paths Institute.  The Mandala Process which he created is a powerful tool for spiritual growth.  We will be exploring the twelve styles and 12 questions as this exploration goes on.  But you don’t have to wait, you can read the book.
