Episode SummaryOne of the paths available to you post-evangelicalism is mysticism, a spirituality that in many ways is almost the direct antithesis of evangelical Christianity. If evangelicalism was all about certainty, apologetics, Biblicism, and defending your faith at all costs, Christian mysticism can be defined by unknowing, mystery, paradox, and direct experience with the Sacred. Mystics know something the rest of us don't know. God is right here with us, right here inside us, right here hidden in plain site just waiting on us to have the eyes to see that this tired old world is filled to the brim with Divinity.A mystic is anyone who has moved beyond the basic understanding of faith as a belief system and into a deeper level of spirituality, recognizing faith as an intimate relationship with the divine through direct experience. They have a “thirst to taste both the holy and the human with unmediated directness,” in the words of Harvard scholar Harvey Cox. The mystical life has less to do with brief moments of divine euphoria and more to do with the realization that through practice, meditation, silence, contemplation, service, and prayer, God is a lived and present reality in daily life. To the mystic, God is no longer some external object to be studied from a distance, but rather an immediate reality to be known, loved, and communed with. Mystics typically inhabit the border streams of faith, existing on the margins, often running afoul of institutional religion. The telos or end goal of their faith is loving union with God, a kind of returning home to your maker and sustainer. Mystics embody what orthodox Christianity has been preaching from the beginning—that God is both transcendent (other worldly) and immanent (present), beyond us yet with us, unknowable yet utterly known. Simply, mystics understand that “knowing” God goes beyond the intellectual and the rational to include intimacy, like a bride “knows” her husband.Bio:Keith Giles is a former pastor who left the pulpit to follow Jesus and start a house church where no one takes a salary and 100 percent of all offerings are given to help the poor in the community.

Zame je Dostojevski pisatelj vsega človeštva in prerok našega časa. Začel je tam, kjer sta se znana Nietzsche in Fromm zaustavila, čeprav je bil njun predhodnik, a ju je kot poznavalec človeške duše presegel. V Velikem inkvizitorju iz romana Bratje Karamazovi opisuje inkvizitorja, ki je hotel nedolžnega Ujetnika (Boga) zažgati na zasluženi grmadi, Bogu v čast. Želel je, da bi mu Ujetnik vsaj nekaj odgovoril, tudi če kaj grdega, a je le-ta molčal. Nakar se je Ujetnik inkvizitorju molče približal in ga poljubil na njegova stara usta. Inkvizitor je stopil k vratom, jih odprl in rekel: »Pojdi in ne pridi več … ne pridi sploh nikdar več … nikoli več … nikoli več, slišiš, nikoli!« Sprašujem se, kdo se je danes preoblekel v inkvizicijsko kuto oziroma talar, medtem ko úrbi et órbi ljubečemu in nedolžnemu Bogu grozi: »Za vedno oditi od nas in nas več ne prihajaj vznemirjat! Ali ne vidiš, da vsi ideali sveta niso vredni ene solze trpečega otroka? Kje je vendar tvoja plemenitost?« Ali je Bog res tako nemočen, da se je dovolil pregnati? Ne, le drugačen je. Kajti Bog ni absolutna moč, ampak absolutna ljubezen oziroma moč ljubezni. On vlada z ljubeznijo svobode, ne z močjo sile; zlo pa je rezultat naše zlorabe svobode. Ni teorije, niti v fantaziji ne, ki bi lahko zamenjala mojo svobodo, da obstajam in tudi trpim. To ne pomeni, da v življenju samo jadikujem, ampak da se lahko celo v trpljenju in smrti radujem. Kajti če raja ni v nas samih, nikoli ne bomo vstopili vanj (Dostojevski). Oporišče, ki smo ga zasidrali izključno v racionalizmu, znanosti in tehniki, zanemarjajoč duhovnost, je pogubno. Harvardski profesor Harvey Cox je v romanu Mesto brez Boga (The Secular City) opisal zgodbo danskega filozofa in teologa Kierkegaarda, ki govori o potujočem cirkusu, v katerem je nenadno nastal požar. Lastnik cirkusa je pomislil, da bi jim lahko pri gašenju pomagali tudi meščani. K njim je poslal klovne, a so se jim zaradi klovnovske obleke, navkljub njihovemu dopovedovanju, le smejali in jih imeli za komične zabavljače. Medtem se je požar iz cirkusa razširil in uničil tudi njihovo mesto. Večini se zdi norost križanega in trpečega Boga preveč nora, da bi vanj verjeli in bili rešeni, čeprav ljubezni pristaja trpljenje. To pa zato, ker na Boga gledamo kot letalec na padalo; ima ga za nujne primere, vendar upa, da mu ga ne bo treba nikoli uporabiti (C. S. Lewis).

If you identify as “spiritual but not religious,” you are not alone. Do you know there's now an acronym for that?  It's called S.B.N.R., and it's a new buzzword that signals a growing trendIn this audio excerpt from the 2022 Symposium on Death and Bereavement Studies, Dr. Terri Daniel explains what it means to be “Spiritual But Not Religious." As more and more Americans relinquish specific religious identities , the movement has earned its own acronym… SBNR. Along with the designation of SBNR, two additional categories have emerged known as “none” (no particular religious affiliation) and ”done” (no longer affiliated). The rise of “Nones, Dones and SBNRs” (N/D/SBNR) in America's spiritual landscape is a source of heated debate in many theological circles, and as one might expect, opinions are often divided along party lines. Conventional religious communities think it's unacceptable to “cherry pick” spiritual ideas and cobble together a personal theology.  But on the other side of the aisle, progressive thinkers can't imagine relating to the divine any other way. As an example of two vastly different views from noted theologians, Harvard Divinity professor Harvey Cox  observes that “people are drawn more to the experiential than to the doctrinal elements of religion.”[1]  And in stark contrast, UCC minister Rev. Lillian Daniel disdainfully refers to SBNR theology as a “cheap god of self-satisfaction.” [2] Read more here: https://deathgriefandbelief.com/spiritual-but-not-religious/Learn about our CONFERENCE ON DEATH, GRIEF AND BELIEF: http:www.deathgriefandbelief.com

Midtown Church exists to renew the reputation of the local church by revealing the kingdom of Jesus in Kansas City. A CULTURE OF ANONYMITYHarvey Cox in his book The Secular City, argues from Christianity that it is good that there are cities without a singular religious commitment– that our God is at work in the secular as much as he is in the sacred.Anonymity | an·o·nym·i·ty 1. not being known by name; unknown by name2. unknown or unrememberedHarvey Cox makes the argument that the anonymity we experience in urban life is a good thing. In small-town living, everyone knows your name, your family, and your business, but that cannot be replicated in the city. His solution is to enjoy the anonymity of urban life as the freedom to choose who you maintain a friendship with. Harvey Cox argues that it is okay, that you don't know the name of your mailman, barista, or neighbor– that you are free to choose those with whom you would like to have a friendship. The problem with this is left to my own devices, why would I select friendships and relationships that challenge any of my own pre-existing ideas or comfortabilities? The Church does has adopted a functional theory of anonymity as well. A MEAL WITH JESUS Jesus had a habit of eating and drinking with sinners that brought the anger of the Pharisees. (Luke 5)It was at dinner a broken woman broke an expensive perfume bottle and poured it on the feet of her king. (Luke 7)It was at a dinner that Jesus instructed his disciples to invite those on the margins to their table, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” (Luke 14)It was after a meal with Jesus that the notorious Zacheus declared – “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” (Luke 19:8)It was in the breaking of bread that two disciples who were heartbroken by the death of their rabbi, realized he was not dead but was alive. (Luke 24)In the last few hours of his life, Jesus chose to spend it with his disciples saying– “I eagerly desired to eat this meal with you… and do this in remembrance of me. Many of us are familiar with this story as it is told by the pastor every time we take communion “Do this”– was not a tiny cracker and a sip of juice– it was an invitation to do life around the table. In remembrance is not a simple reflection of the cross and Christ's death, but the proclamation of Jesus' story. THE FRACTIO PANIS (Frac-she-o Pa-niece)There is a fresco painting that archeologists discovered in the 1800s believe dates back to the 2nd century – so within the first 150 years of the Church after Jesus had already died, resurrected, and ascended. It is called “Fractio Panis” or in English the “Breaking of Bread”The early church understood that as they gathered around the table it was as if Jesus was there with them. 03. DEVOTED TO ONE ANOTHERActs 2:42-47 (ESV) | 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and (1)the fellowship, to the (2)breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed (3)were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and (4)breaking bread in their homes, they (5)received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.You'll notice, Luke describes 4 specific activities–Devoted to teaching to the apostles' teaching To fellowship and Breaking breadSharing (had all things in common)The prayersWe see this throughout the NT as Paul writes his letters to churches in passages like Romans 16, Colossians 4, Philemon 1.Romans 16:3–5 (ESV): “Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus.. [and] also the church in their house.”Colossians 4:15 (ESV): “15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.”Philemon 1–2 (ESV): “To Philemon our beloved fellow worker 2 and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house.”BECOMING FAMILY AROUND A TABLEThe beauty of gathering around a table is that the stranger, becomes a neighbor and a neighbor becomes family. Philoxenia (NT term for hospitality) – Love for strangerXenophobia – fear of the stranger.is essentially the opposite of xenophobia. In fact, the Greek term for hospitality is philoxenia or literally, love of stranger. This is the exact opposite of xenophobia or fear of the stranger. Gathering around a table is not simply what we do as a church– it is who we are as the people of God. For us to be hospitable people, we must learn to welcome all around our table. SPIRITUAL PRACTICE – THE MEAL AT MIDTOWN CHURCH One of the ways we learn to resist a culture of anonymity and become a hospitable people, is through microchurch. Microchurch is a small gathering of people around prayer, scripture, mission, and a simple meal. Next StepsIf you have never been a part of a microchurch, now is the time to join one. FIll out the form– midtownkc.church/microchurchIf you have been a part of a microchurch for a while, maybe now is the time to start a new one.

We're moving into the "great" Sondheim musicals of the 1970s and 80s, starting with the groundbreaking Company (1970) with its perennial questions about gender, sexuality, and the changing nature of marriage & human relationships.   We talk about: - "New morality” in the works of John A.T. Robinson, Harvey Cox, and how it is explored in the work of Sondheim - The isolation & verticalization of urban life in the 1960s and 70s. - Bobby's questions about human relationships—sexual, romantic, platonic—and the deep ambivalence he represents - Attempts to update Company—often by changing gender roles - The women of Company – especially Joanne and her great number “The Ladies Who Lunch” - The changing nature of marriage and human commitment – in society and in the church   You'll Hear: - “Company,” “The Little Things You Do Together,” “Sorry-Grateful”, “Getting Married Today,” “The Ladies Who Lunch” and “Being Alive” from the Original Broadway Production on the 1970 cast album - “Marry Me A Little” sung by Raul Esparza from the 2006 Broadway Revival Album. - “Happily Ever After” sung by Craig Lucas on the 1986 album “A Collector's Sondheim”

Escrito em 1965, se percebem as mesmas exigências teológicas. A Cidade Secular, de Harvey Cox, apresenta o secularismo não como inimigo da igreja, mas como fruto do evangelho. Por secularismo, Cox entende o processo histórico pelo qual a sociedade se liberta do controle da igreja e dos sistemas metafísicos fechados. O centro de interesse dessa nova teologia não é a igreja, mas sim o mundo e as suas necessidades. Harvey Cox, A Cidade Secular: A Secularização e a Urbanização na Perspectiva Teológica.

"A holistic, inclusive, compassionate, justice oriented Christian vision would be adopted by more Christians if more Christians more carefully understood and distinguished between the pre-Easter Jesus and the post-Easter Christ. The appearance stories in the Gospels (probably a late developing tradition for they are absent from Mark, the first Gospel written) function to bridge the gap between the historical Jesus of Nazareth and the living, cosmic Christ, linking the two together. Christ, however, is not Jesus' last name. Jesus is not the same as Christ, though Jesus is included in the cosmic reality of Christ. In his excellent work, The Future of Faith, Harvey Cox describes it this way, “'Christ' means more than Jesus. It also refers to the new skein of relationships that arose around him during and after his life. . . . Paul frequently speaks of the Christ who dwells within him and within the other followers. When for example, he writes that among those who share the Spirit of Christ, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for are all one in Christ Jesus,” he means something more extensive than the historical Jesus (Gal. 3:28). The Easter cycle, with all its harshness, joy, and impenetrability, tells of this enlargement of this historical Jesus story into the Christ story” (p. 52). This cosmic, collective, corporate divine reality known as Christ is not limited to Christians (we who are followers of the historical Jesus). Christians know and experience the character (love, compassion, goodness, etc.) of the cosmic Christ through the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, but the Spirit of Christ is not limited to Christians. According to Cox “one of the most devastating blunders made by the church . . . was to insist that the Spirit is present only in believers.” The Apostle Paul rarely references the historical Jesus. He speaks mostly of the cosmic Christ to whom we are united and in whom and through whom we live. We are in Christ and Christ is in us (Gal. 2:20). In the Christ hymns/litanies of Philippians 2:6-11 and Colossians 1:15-20, the cosmic Christ precedes the historical Jesus. In Colossians the ancient Jewish wisdom tradition, which was personified as a woman (Sophia) in some texts, is applied to Christ. Christ here is creator and sustainer of everything and the reality in whom all things will be gathered up and reconciled to God (“through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven”). The language here is poetic, mythic, metaphorical, and symbolic as all religious language must be. What a big picture, grand story, universal, inclusive, kingdom of God kind of Christianity we would have if more Christians understood and made these distinctions! It is the cosmic Christ in whom we all “live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Christ is the light that enlightens every person (John 1:9) and is the Spirit of Truth, the Advocate that enlightens the whole world to spiritual reality (John 16:7-11). Christ is the fullness of God who will ultimately gather up everything in himself/herself (Eph. 1:10) and draw all people into conscious oneness in God (John 12:32)." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Her gir Eivind deg en innføring i en tale som har skapt sterke reaksjoner over hele verden, nemlig Jesu bergpreken. Jo mer livserfaring vi har, jo mer kan vi oppleve at Jesu undervisning treffer oss med voldsom kraft og vi reagerer. Det kan være viktig å huske på at selv om vi reagerer i møte med teksten, er ikke dette nødvendigvis fordi Bergprekenen er gammel. Hva om Jesus har rett? I tillegg til å komme med fortellinger om hvordan Jesu undervisning treffer eget liv, siterer Eivind professor Harvey Cox ved Harvard: "Ordene fra Bergprekenen er de mest opplysende, de mest siterte, de mest analyserte, de mest omstridte, de mest innflytelsesrike, de mest diskuterte moralske ord i menneskets historie - This may sound like an overstatement, but is not.” Klarer du å holde fingrene fra fatet, og ikke lese Bergprekenen etterpå?

Exploring economic injustice and the harmful paradigm of individualism in American culture with Dr. Harvey Cox. Cox was a Hollis Research Professor of Divinity at Harvard, where he began teaching in 1965, both at HDS and in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. An American Baptist minister, he was the Protestant chaplain at Temple University and the director of religious activities at Oberlin College; an ecumenical fraternal worker in Berlin; and a professor at Andover Newton Theological School. His research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Among the issues he explores are urbanization, theological developments in world Christianity, Jewish-Christian relations, and current spiritual movements in the global setting (particularly Pentecostalism). He has been a visiting professor at Brandeis University, Seminario Bautista de Mexico, the Naropa Institute, and the University of Michigan. He is the author of bestselling books The Market as God and the Secular City. Harvey Cox was a Harvard doctoral student in the early 1960s when his friend the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called and asked him to help create a Boston branch of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the influential Civil Rights organization that King helped found in 1957. Starting in 1962 and for the next few years, Cox recruited people for Southern Civil Rights marches, rallies, and demonstrations, where nonviolent protesters often were repeatedly attacked by police and local authorities, and was invited to be the keynote speaker at an annual SCLC event. Cox took part in several protests, including two marches from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. The two remained friends until King was assassinated in 1968.

Originally coined by 19th century philosopher Josiah Royce, the term Beloved Community refers to a way of life that is based on pure, unconditional love for humankind. Beloved community is not merely about the community itself— it’s about the individuals within a community. It is the notion that a true community may not exist without the inclusion of the singular parts that make up the beloved whole. This concept made its way into the hands of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., serving as a guiding vision during the fight for civil rights in the mid-20th century. The neighborhood in which we are raised has a tremendous role in determining our sense of self, which in turn plays a role in cultivating a shared sense of identity with the world around us. With this in mind, it is essential that the basic elements of our communities– politics, culture, economy, and design– reflect a central focus on equity. Equity in communities consists of the smallest of gestures and opportunities for genuine interaction and have a powerful ripple effect on the overall well-being of a neighborhood. Creating an organic community is intuitive only if it is not attempted to be artificially “designed”. Communities are not defined by their physical attributes or aesthetics, but rather by the people within them. It is the love that people put into action that creates the physical community. It’s what defines the difference between existing in a community and belonging to a community. In a world where cities are expected to produce a consistent output of capital, resources, and opportunities amongst ever-growing – and therefore ever diversifying – populations, it is crucial to consider how equity of access to resources in the urban setting may continue in a sustainable fashion into the future. Pulling from interviews conducted with decade long colleagues of the late Martin Luther King, including Dr. Virgil Wood and Harvey Cox of Harvard Divinity School (author of bestsellers “Market as God” and “Secular City”), as well as academic articles surrounding equity in architecture and Louis Kelso’s Binary Economic Theory, a plethora of resources have been compiled to fulfill King’s vision from the fields of architecture, planning, economic theory, and environmental psychology. Through sharing these findings and resources with fellow designers, policy makers, and stakeholders, I believe a powerful potential for inter-sectional collaboration may be developed through creating a shared foundation of beloved values.

Easter is upon us – an ancient Christian holiday to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus, and a pilar of Christian faith. An ancient tradition, in a young country.     This week on Beliefs, a conversation with Senior Minister, The Rev. Dr. Steven Jungkeit of the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, Connecticut. This year they celebrate their three hundred and fiftieth anniversary.    Our guest interviewer this week is Karen Hayward.       TRANSCRIPT   The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme was established in 1665. What do you imagine the Easter message in this meeting house was 350 years ago? One of the interesting features of Puritans and early colonial America was that they were reluctant about celebrations like Easter and Christmas.  So they may not have had an actual Easter celebration… One of their deep beliefs was the holiness of every single day such that to separate out a separate day like Christmas, like Easter, is somehow sanctified as different than those other days was a troubling thing for them. So, they may not have marked the day at all in the way that we do at this point in time. That's a relatively recent invention. Having said that there are a lot of features that I think we can recognize from the Puritans that establish a kind of continuity between then and now such that we can speculate about what might have been important to them. One of the things that was deeply important to them was the life of the mind. They would have taken seriously what it means to read scripture to interpret it carefully to be incorporating the deepest and best and broadest learning of the day into their messages. They had, I would say, a wide understanding of the goodness of the world that the world was created by God, as good. And so that's what led them into that notion that every day was sanctified, every day was holy, and they had a sense of the fallibility of human lives. The sense that there are moments when we need corrective boundaries around our discourses around our communities to help to help bring out the best in us.  I think they give us really helpful perspective on the fact that human beings are not always at their best. That sometimes they are indeed fallible and that indeed we may need things like laws things like norms - strong communal norms in order to shape our lives together. These are things that I think they would have been thinking about not only on Easter Sunday, but every day.  And I think that broadly speaking, we’re deeply continuous with those understandings. And that represents some of what my -our- messaging is every single Sunday and something of what will be happening here on Easter Sunday as well.   You mentioned that the theologian Harvey Cox in one of your recent sermons. Cox has famously stated that, “Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.” In this age where Twitter and naked incivility are rampant in our culture. How do you respond to this?   Well I have to say I think Harvey Cox's is right about that. And it's for me a profound moment of humility and gratitude to be able to stand in a in a in a pulpit and to have a crowd of people who are interested in what might unfold in that moment. I take it very seriously I think it's a sacred moment. So, I think there's a there's a humility that comes with that. I think there's a responsibility that comes with that. Insofar as it is this privileged moment.  One of our former ministers here some hundred years ago said that for him that little space of the pulpit was the most sacred piece of real estate.  That he knew insofar as there is a privilege and a responsibility that comes with that - I feel beholden to say something that's going to be of value.  But that's also going to be respectful of the people who are listening. That's not to say that it won't be challenging. I am frequently very challenging in my in my messages. But I want to respect the dignity and the beliefs of the people sitting in the pew.  There is a freedom of the pulpit, but I also respect the freedom of the Pew.  But for that moment, for that moment, there's this long you know 15-20 minute discourse where we have to pay attention. Where it involves linear thinking. Where it involves imaginative thinking, and where I hope moments of empathy and compassion and grace can be stirred. That's the hope. So, thank God it still exists. And I don't know. There are places all around all around the country and indeed all around the world where that particular moment anchors communal lives.   Here is another quote from Harvey Cox “We live in a post Christian America. Christian ideals no longer dominate social thought and action.” How does this resonate with you? I've given this one some thought because I think that's from a book that Harvey wrote in the late 60s, when indeed it seemed as though Christian thought was not going to dominate America in the way that it once had. And in many ways that has held true. We are indeed a more pluralistic society. We are indeed I think a society which has increasingly recognized and incorporated other forms of religious belief, other forms of practice other life systems.  And I think that's a wonderful thing.  It's something that I feel passionately about helping our congregation, and helping our region, helping wherever I can…  To it's to establish links of communication with these other forms of belief. But in other ways I think what's happened in America is the opposite of what Harvey has diagnosed there. Because indeed it seems that there is a strain of Christianity which has remained very dominant, and very I would say, chauvinistic, in its attitude toward others.  That's not the kind of Christianity we practice here. That's not what I want to put out into the into the world. But it is true that it does have a kind of cultural hegemony that I feel very strongly about countering in some way with a different kind of Christian discourse or a different kind of religious identity. So, on one hand yes, I think we're a different America than we were when Harvey wrote that.  On the other hand, there is this virulent strain of Christian thought which I think is preventing that pluralism from actually taking shape, and those dialogues and those conversations from actually happening. And I worry about that greatly.   What about the raw secular nature of our times that we're living in. Well I would wonder how deeply secular the secular actually is. When I look at American culture I see religion all around us I see forms of religion all around us that may or may not travel under the name of religion. But I see religious orientations and beliefs happening all around us. Now whether or not that translates into our raw selfishness, I think is a really, really good question. I don't know necessarily that selfishness corresponds to the religious content. And I would say that I want to draw us as a community into these forms of religious expression that contest that form of selfishness.  I think the most perverse phrase in all of the Bible, “Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my Sister's keeper?” with the implication being that we're not attached to one another. We have no communal bonds we have no communal attachments. I want to say we do. They exist across our town lines. They exist across our national lines. They exist across our religious and cultural lines. We're attached to one another. And I want to figure out ways that religion and religious stories can help us connect in that way.   The Puritan leadership integrated their version of Protestantism into their political structure. What vestiges of Puritanism’s severe reputation actually linger in our communities today? And are they helpful to our spiritual growth in today's world? Well I think Puritanism has gotten a bad rap over the years. And there is a strong piece of me that wants to salvage the reputation of the Puritans and do a kind of counter reading of the Puritans. Marilyn Robinson's novels have been really helpful in redirecting our public imagination back to the Puritans and helping us to understand that there's something there that's worth lingering with even if we're doing something different now. It's okay to do something different but it's also there's also something there so what are the vestiges… Well, it pertains to some of what I was saying before: I think they did have a strong life of the mind. They were strongly words-centered so they believed in the power of writing, and the power of oratory, and the power of rhetoric, to shape lives to shape minds to shape communities. Thank God for the power of rhetoric. Thank God for the power of words they believed in the goodness of the world. Ultimately they thought that the world was God's gift and that they had a duty to use their lives well. They were consumed with a sense of wonder and all at the natural world - again this is something that I think we in an age of climate change can learn from - there's this awe and wonder that many of them evince over the course of their discourses, that we do have from them. And again, they also have this sense that human beings and that human communities can sometimes be broken. And this is where they enter this language of sin. And it's not a popular language for many of us.  Now, however, I think underneath that word there's this sense that human beings are frail. We're prone to error and we're we need to remain humble and open to correction. I think that's a profound gift that the Puritans give to all of us in the world that we fail sometimes politically, personally, and that we need to be open to correction and open to new direction new openings. There are some vestiges that I wouldn't want to bring into the modern world or bring into the contemporary world. They were more severe than I might have liked. They were more… Oh, I don't know, limited in their geographical, spatial imagination than I might have liked. Or their religious orientation than I might have liked. But I don't know this is sort of an anachronism; to take our understandings of the, you know today, and project them back onto the past. Then you know they owned slaves. I mean one of the features of living In Old Lyme is to realize that there are gravestones where slaves are buried in the local cemetery. Here I live in a house across the street from the church where a slave lived in the attic. This is a part of our history that I think we must grapple with. And we must grapple with it publicly. So, these are some of the vestiges not only of the puritans but of America.   What is the biggest challenge that you face as a minister in today's world. There are enormous challenges and it's hard to even whittle down what the biggest one is. But if I had to if I had to pick one, I would say that it's the shrinkage of the imagination  …Of all of us, as Americans these days. And it might not just be Americans it might be the world where we somehow seem to be bounded by the borders - of our geographies, the artificial boundaries of nations, of towns, of communities, without the ability to imagine the lives of people who live outside of those borders beyond where we might exist.  We have a president right now who is declaring that our country is full; that our borders are full. And indeed, I think we're having to contest that sort of thinking on all up and down the chain. We're dealing with a problem right now here in our community where we have a food pantry that operates out of our basement, which wants to limit its distribution to the people only of a certain geographical region but not people outside of that region. And so, what happens when these border crossings happen? Are we are we our brothers and sisters keepers or not? That to me is the biggest challenge to get people to imagine what it might be like living in South Africa. What it might be like living in Honduras, or what it might be like living in Mexico, or what it might be like living in Syria.  So, in order to help with that, we have done a lot of work around immigration over the last few years. We've done a lot of work in resettling refugees over the last few years, and indeed that's been a feature of our community's work for a long, long time now. It's to bring people here into Old Lyme who have had to flee their countries for whatever reasons whether it's food insecurity or war or economic insecurity. They've had to flee. We try to be a place where they can feel as though they can rebuild their lives here. I want us to be a window to the rest of the world; to allow border crossings- if you will- to happen all around us wherever we go.   Steve, you've mentioned so many broad issues, complex issues. How does that distill down to your Easter message in 2019?  That's a great question for me. Christianity, and my understanding of faith in general, is this sense of opening, this sense of continually being expanded.  I call it stretch theology. I want to porousness in the boundaries of our theologies in the sense, and in the boundaries of our lives together. So, I understand it to be at the center at the heart of the Christian message.  So when it comes to Easter, I think about I think about the tableau of people that are described in that biblical scene where they go to the tomb on Easter morning. And there are several people there. And I think we're all invited to take a place among those several people.  And they look at this tomb which has somehow been opened and they don't know what to make of it. And the scriptures tell us in particular the gospel of Luke tells us that Peter went inside the tomb went into this space of death and stayed there for a little bit. And witnessed what that space of death might look like, feel like, what it might be doing to him. I want us his congregants on Easter morning to be willing to go into that tomb into that space of death, and consider all of the tombs all of the spaces of death that human beings are sometimes asked to enter and to live in, and then ultimately to try and get out of. So, what I want to also then emphasize is that Peter at a certain moment turns around and looks at the open door of the tomb. There is an opening there. There is an opening out of the tomb. Out of that space of death. And he exits. He goes out. So, whatever it is that people might be struggling with whatever forms of social or personal metaphorical death that people might experience in their lives. I want to say that there is an opening out of it. I want to invite people to consider what it is to be inside that place, but I also want them to glimpse that opening that leads out of it, and into life, into community, into connection, into the best form of human life that we can we can imagine that we can exist in. That's my Easter message. That's what I want to get at.   Well that's a beautiful message and we want to thank you for your thoughts and your wisdom that you've offered today. Thank you it's so so good to be able to be in conversation with you Karen. And I'm grateful for the work that you're doing. So, thank you.   Thank you, Steve.

Listen in as Ty & Donnie try to unravel the fishing enigma known as Joe Wortham and Harvey Cox! These guys are two of best inshore anglers on the planet. The stories they have make us want to Start a Backwater Hustle After Dark Show.

When we read the Bible informed by archaeology, we find support, illustration, contradiction, and absence. Sometimes, we peel back the layers and find ways stories were used to inspire peoples and explain their worlds. Whether there were 600 or 600,000 people who came out of Egypt, the story reminds us that God is on the side of the oppressed, and so should we be.

In this sermon, insired by Diana Butler Bass and Harvey Cox, I talk about the order of our faith. I think that the Jewish faith and the early Christian faith began with belonging, then moved to behavior, and then finally beliefs were developed to give langauge to what the people were feeling and experiencing. Somewhere along the line, we reversed the order, and we have prioritized belief. What we have tended to neglect in our faith is our behaviors--the practices of the faith that build our belonging and make our beliefs alive. In this sermon, I talk specifically about Sabbath, Scripture, and Prayer.

“For the last four decades, Harvey Cox has been the leading trend spotter in American religion.”—Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy Harvey Cox's book The Secular City, first published in 1965, is an international bestseller and widely regarded as one of the most influential books of Protestant theology of the last 50 years. His research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Until his retirement in 2009 from Harvard University, Cox taught extensively on the intersection between Christianity and Islam and the rise of fundamentalism in both religions. In his book The Future of Faith (2009) he discussed the rise of fundamentalism in the ever-changing world, and why he thinks it will ultimately fail. "Harvey Cox is the most important liberal theologian of the last half century."—E.J. Dionne, Jr., author of Souled Out, and columnist for The Washington Post "Harvey Cox has been a voice of both reason and faith in our cynical times."—Deepak Chopra, author of Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment

In 1965, a young Harvard professor became the best-selling voice of secularism in America with his book The Secular City. He sees the old thinking in the “new atheism” of figures like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. The either/or debates between religion and atheism, he says, obscure the truly interesting interplay between faith and other forms of knowledge that is unfolding today.
