A spirituality of co-creation. Partnering with god
Description
Traditional monotheistic religions are characterized by a hierarchical model in which a paternalistic deity, assisted by ascended saints and angelic beings, oversees the unfolding drama of life on Earth. This program questions the suitability of that model to the challenges of the 21st century as it presents the idea that humankind should step forward to accept greater responsibility for its own actions while becoming more attuned to the transpersonal creative energies at play in the universe. Participants include Sister Joan Chittister; retired Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong; James Forbes Jr., of New York City's Riverside Church; Boston University's Stephen Prothero; the Reverend Scotty McLennan, Dean for Religious Life at Stanford University; and B. Alan Wallace, of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies.
