Some of us gathered on the steps of Mt. Calvary Retreat House in
Santa Barbara
We are a progressive community that is passionate about Jesus
Progressive: We are called:
•
To deep personal transformation into the likeness of Christ;
•
To participate in profound social transformation towards the
reign of God;
•
Away from greed, hatred, and violence
•
Toward gratitude, reconciliation, and peace
Community: We are an
intentional community, seeking to love and affirm each other. We believe that
the quality of our relationships with others is the touchstone of our spiritual
lives.
Passionate: We are not a boring community!
We are passionate about worship, reverence, and singing; about preaching and
teaching; about listening to and loving each other; and about standing at the
side of the poor and the marginalized in this world.
Jesus: Jesus is the focus of our journey. We regard him as the embodiment of the lovingkindness of God, and of God’s passion for mercy, justice, and peace. We strive to live out Jesus’ teaching, and to enter into the relationship that Jesus has with God as “Abba”, as loving Father.
