The globalised belief in one `God' has become a problem. The prayer `Our Father in heaven' presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature.
*
Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms.*To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the `Father God' image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature.
*
Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can.
*
Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone's experience and perspective has merit.
*
The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values.*Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one's personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed.
If your vision for the future is
·*****The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature
·*****The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive
·*****Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.
