Here’s a link to an article I wrote recently on church futures:

Taken together, these articles challenge me to contribute, not just to “making church great again” by returning to some idealized past, but rather, to working for a rebirth of the Christian movement as an inclusive expression of “organizing religion” – Christians working for the common good of all, focused on restoring the planet, creating the conditions for lasting peace among races, nations, and religions, and reducing/eliminating poverty by addressing the continuing transfer of wealth to the super-rich.
That was the focus of my 2016 release, The Great Spiritual Migration, and it is at the heart of my upcoming books, including The Galapagos Islands: A Spiritual Journey which will release this October.
