Religions in Renewal: Global Dialogue
Religions
in Renewal:Dialogue,
Reform,
Re-vision
This site is dedicated to efforts by people all over
the globe to renew their religions or ideologies in such a way that in
the future they will be open to ongoing transformation while remaining
solidly rooted in what is essential in their past. This is not a site to
connect with new religious movements or syncretic religions amalgamated
from bits and pieces of the existing faiths of the world. There are many
such sites on the Web (and a few may be included if their guiding vision
is congruent with the goals of this site). Rather, Religions in Renewal
is
a site to link members of groups within the major established religions
or ideologies who are seeking respectfully and gradually to reform their
traditions from within while remaining loyal to the spirit of their path.
Secondarily, it is a site to demonstrate that no matter how different our
faith-languages, we have much in common and can learn from one another
if we are open to the beauty and wealth of religious and intellectual diversity
and willing to learn another's native tongue, not to abandon our own but
to enrich it. Finally, this site reflects my conviction that Reason and
Faith are meant to complement one another and that at its best, the European
Enlightenment liberated humanity, as Immanuel Kant put it, from millennia
of superstition, fanaticism, and intellectual immaturity.
No matter which faith or ideology, this effort should include commitment
to loving kindness toward one another and non-human sentient creatures;
respect for the personhood of all human beings; awareness of global interdependence;
appreciation both of rationality and mystical insight; acceptance of diversity
and pluralism; prudent sympathy for the values of secular life; and willingness
to engage in dialogue with others.
The religions of the world represent a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom.
They have given meaning to the lives of billions, and at their best have
passed on the value of all-encompassing love in such principles as the
various versions of the Golden Rule. They have also been perverted to rationalize
heinous crimes against humanity, and have served to legitimize tyranny, blind obedience, fear and fanaticism,
doctrinal rigidity, thought control, intolerance, discrimination, persecution
of heretics, forced conversions, crusades and other (un)holy wars, misogynism,
and neglect of the biosphere.
It is one of the great challenges of the present age to begin the work
of separating those aspects of our religious and ideological traditions
that liberate the human spirit and serve life in a global and pluralistic
community from those aspects that have become destructive and discourage
mature thought and individual accountability (it is important to note that
" life-serving" and "destructive" are functions of the cultural matrix
of an age; unquestioning obedience to authority or protecting the "poor
and simple faithful" through censorship would have been considered a virtue
in a non-democratic era). Practitioners of each religion and followers
of each ideology will have to decide for themselves precisely what to address
and how to proceed, but while there is a great deal of divergence in the
specific problems encountered, there are also striking parallels. I hope
that this website will eventually give people all over the world a chance
to contact others in congruent circumstances in order to share reflections,
prayer, and strategies -- or at least to know that they are not alone.
From within my Catholic analogical universe I dedicate this site to
two of my favorite quotations: "Ubi caritas et
amor, Deus ibi est" (God is, where charity and love are found)
and (from an Episcopal poster) "Christ came to take
away our sins, not our minds . . ."
Others sites include as many links as possible. No wonder,
web-navigators (consciously or unconsciously) are suffering from what Alvin
Toffler called "overchoice." There is simply too much information available
for the human brain to assimilate, and there is practically no quality
control. In the Religions in Renewal site I will only include links
which point to cyber locations which reflect authentic efforts to reform
existing religions or ideologies from within (in line with the principles
I stated earlier) and/or are dedicated to furthering thoughtful ecumenical
or inter-ideological dialogue.
Since I first set up this site I acquired a virtual server and have filled
it with domains and pages dedicated to buiding bridges between diverse
faiths and ideologies. Those projects kept me occupied, and I have spent
little time on maintaining this page. Please, be sure to visit my
Ecumene
site!
