A Cosmic Celebration for Kids of All Ages

The whole message of the Christian Scripture is based in the idea of metanoia,
Christianity has a long history of oppressing women, but the Easter story shows us how inauthentic that is to the Gospel.
The gnostic understands Christ's message not as offering a set of answers, but as encouragement to engage in a process of searching
Jesus was not killed by atheism and anarchy. He was brought down by law and order allied with religion - which is always a deadly mix. Beware those who claim to know the mind of God and are prepared to use force, if necessary, to make others conform. Beware those who cannot tell God's will - from their own
Traditional Christianity has missed the point of the Easter story. The miracle on Easter wasn’t that Jesus was physically or spiritually raised to sit at God’s right hand until he could one day return to judge humanity. The miracle was his followers recognizing that they could continue to proclaim the message of God’s Reign on this earth even once Jesus had been crucified.
Our Earth is sacred and does not belong to us. When we recognize that we are merely stewards of creation which has been entrusted to our care, it shifts our outlook. We cannot continue to ravage the earth, deplete its resources, and consume without restraint while claiming to be faithful to our God. The Gospel is one of interdependence. All of creation is woven together in a delicate web that we must nurture faithfully.
It was two days before the Passover and the festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him; for they said, “Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people.” Mark 14:1-2.
That is precisely when we recognize our common humanity

Bring, O morn, thy music! Night, thy starlit silence! Oceans, laugh in rapture to the storm-winds coursing free! Suns and planets chorus, praise to all found holy. Life was, and is, and evermore shall be.
Judeo/Christian/Islamic belief will be forced to adjust to the reality of an ecologically disintegrating planet with humans on it searching not for solutions restricted to their past, but built on new ideas within a thought process reaching beyond. This is not to say that all Abrahamic thought will die. Many ancient texts and beliefs will find value. However, a new world-wide cosmic realism will be taking hold. Past religious belief in all three of the religions of Abraham will be made to measure its value against a new form of thought that encompasses the nonlinearity of all matter and non-matter in the context of human/planetary consonance - and survival.
