About

The globalised belief in one 'God' has become a problem. The prayer 'Our Father in heaven'
presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy,
authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature.

Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future
for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply
values contrary to the 'Father God' image. The important values today include: diversity,
inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature.

Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book
suggests we can.

Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth.
Everyone's experience and perspective has merit.

The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values.
Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focusses on one's personal experience of the
sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed.
If your vision for the future is

The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature
The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive
Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.
