Rebuilding Spiritual Community A How-To Guide

Reimagining something that doesn't exist yet...

It’s pretty exciting work. Also, pretty isolating.
We get to create a future that isn’t here yet. Great! But we have to do it without plans to follow, guides, or guidelines. That’s tough!

This course could help you. It isn’t a cookie-cutter approach. It’s a set of foundational principles I learned along the way that I think could help you create your healthy spiritual community.

Don’t go it alone! What you’re doing is important! Let’s help each other succeed.

Course Highlights

  • Explores both the toxic and the beautiful in the Christian tradition. Builds on the beautiful. Jettisons the toxic. Draws from the wisdom of other traditions.
  • Is rooted in practical experience. Many write about rethinking spiritual community. Fewer have actually done it.
  • A framework to build on, a structure in which your own creativity can flourish.
  • Focuses on how our spiritual communities can help us become better human beings—and build a better world.
  • Is a place to connect with others, also reimagining their spiritual communities.

About Me

I’m an offbeat minister who led a non-traditional church for 30 years.

My first ministry gig was a megachurch college minister in LA. Way back then I realized church wasn’t working. I started asking hard questions—that got me invited to be a minister somewhere else (somewhere faraway). I came to Raleigh to start Common Thread—a laboratory to figure out how healthy spiritual community could work. After working on it for 30 years, I learned a lot.
