In the shadow of COP26 we are meditating on the powerful role that Deep Ecumenism can and must play in the future of the planet.

Weekly Sermon Series
Many believe this upcoming election is the most important one in our lifetimes, one of the key crossroads in American history.

Politics and profit have tremendous influence over which foods we eat, especially the poor because almost all government agricultural subsidies go to beef, dairy, and grain production and less than 1% supports growing green vegetables and fruits.
Communities of Hope is a film born from a quest to discover a regenerative culture. It is an invitation to discover a new way of life. A way of life measured by the rhythms of nature, the depth of human connection, the vast horizon of human potential. It’s the way of life in ecovillages.
Finding out that this world is Heaven is crucial for human survival. Otherwise in the frenzy of dissociation, our shadow games will annihilate the planet.

One of the lessons I remember from my study of U.S. history in high school is that the United States is protected by two oceans on our east and west coasts.
