Celebrate Pluralism Sunday on May 27

Posted on Apr 25th, 2007 by Allison : Dreamweaver Allison

Sunday, May 27, the Center for Progressive Christianity (http://www.tcpc.org/) is organizing "Pluralism Sunday."

This is an incredible opportunity for Christians to be exposed to a Christianity beyond the mythic interpretation, and i believe an incredible opportuntiy for Christianity to step into the role as a conveyor belt, as Ken Wilber speaks of in Integral Christianity.  Time to show America what a Green Jesus can look like, (green in terms of spiral dynamics).

I think this is very exciting, would love to hear what others think, and if others plan to participate.  We will be holding a special gathering on Pluralism Sunday at our church in Michigan, Christ Community Church.

The specific link for pluralism sunday is www.tcpc.blogs.com/pluralism_sunday/

Diana Eck, Harvard professor and founder of the Pluralism Project, writes this as to what it means to her to be a Christian Pluralist,

"Through the years I have found my own faith not threatened, but broadened and deepened by the study of Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and Sikh traditions of faith. And I have found that only as a Christian pluralist could I be faithful to the mystery and the presence of the one I call God. Being a Christian pluralist means daring to encounter people of very different faith traditions and defining my faith not by its borders, but by its roots."

Just imagine if that was the dominant view of Christianity in this country...what potential for cultural growth!
