We had the pleasure of seeing Michael Dowd give the newest incarnation of his teaching last night at the Integral Center. He’s spreading the good news and doing his part to usher in the evidential reformation.
There were about fifty people at the center and almost a hundred watching the Livestream. You can still see it here. Check it out and give Michael some feedback in the comments below. (Click on the title of this post and scroll to the bottom where it says “leave a reply”).
Reality is our God,
Evidence is our scripture,
Big history is our creation story,
Ecology is our theology,
Integrity is our spirituality,
A healthy future is our mission.
~Michael Dowd

“A worldwide meta-religious movement has been emerging for decades, largely unnoticed, at the nexus of science, inspiration, and sustainability. Beliefs are secondary.” ~Michael Dowd

Thank you Jeff and Michael for a wonderful night. As a pastor, I live in that place between the conversation of religion and science and have found your leading very helpful in sharpening my own thought and opening others up to the possibilities of a conversation that is just as sacred as the one they grew up with.
Thank you for the encouragement Scott, and for being a part of the conversation.
Brother Michael was ON FIRE last night! Two years before I’d ever picked up a book by Ken Wilber, reformed evangelist Michael Dowd was first to introduce me to the idea that evolution was sacred. Bilingual, he spoke the language of Day and Night with equal facility, and his tone was congenial & conciliatory in those days. But now that he has taken up the cause of global warming, he is a red-blooded warrior for the cosmic Christ! Passionate, informed, tireless, and ever evolving … Thank God for Michael Dowd.
