Natural Religion

-healing the split between life and religion

This newsletter is about the natural religion many of us wish we had.

Such a religion is trying to be born. Its elements are all around us. Science, which we often see as the enemy of spirituality, is now studying human nature, motivation, and feelings. Science is downright friendly to spirituality these days. And those religions and wisdom traditions we may have discarded on our life path? They aren’t all bad. Faith traditions are changing, and some have always had a branch that honors the whole person. Undergirding both science and religion is this beautiful world of which we are a part: nature itself.

Life is full of spirit and mystery. We sense it; sometimes, we even know it. It can knock us off our bicycles. At other times, we feel it shyly peeking around a corner. We know there is more to our lives than what shows on the surface. So let’s get started.

I am an ordained minister in an Interfaith tradition (Unitarian Universalism). I have the freedom in my tradition to explore where I want to go. Come along with me and lets explore!
