RT @nick_routledge: @ThinkingFaith A social reality for everyone? Name your congruity. Secular? Religious? Liberal? Bible-centered (Prov. 26:17-28)? Such identifiers prove immaterial, in practice, to the experience of a common territory beyond. Illich: “the kingdom is a social reality at a transcendental level."

How does our community practice work? Easy, really. Firstly, ours is a ‘post-religious’ practice. That is, whether we identify as atheist, agnostic, theist, pantheist, non-denominated, fundamentally secular or entirely otherwise, simply doesn’t matter. Our practice is also ‘post-political’: whether we identify as conservative or liberal, native or immigrant, POC or white, binary or binary-busting, or entirely otherwise, our practice both honors and transcends all such distinctions in the formless integrity of our own, private, entirely unique experience, whatever and whoever we are, and however we identify to ourselves and the world. No creed is required, nor is prior experience - simply a commitment to join in exploring a particular inner theme of coherent community life.
