The earth and human society are perched on the precipice of disaster. Our economic, political, and religious institutions are malfunctioning at the very time that we are in need of coordinated collective action to address global challenges. I believe that we need a radical change in the questions we ask, the way we view and organize our institutions, and how we relate to ourselves and one another. Over the next few weeks, I plan to write a series of entries that explore ideas about both our problems and potential solutions that we can use to address them. Topics that I will discuss include goodness vs. purity, sustainability vs. greed, and pragmatism vs. ideology. I hope you will join the conversation.

Maybe the radical change should be to go back to the Jewish roots of the New Testament. In his new book, Cover Up: How the Church Silenced Jesus's True Heirs, Lawrence Goudge proposes that "Today’s mainstream church is the true heretic since it adopted the new religion of the dying God which arose from Paul’s visions. Peter James and John and their heirs, the Jewish followers of Jesus rejected it. Preserving the beliefs and practices of Jesus. they strove to create the kingdom of God here on earth. A new book, Cover-Up: How the Church Silenced Jesus's True Heirs, exposes the church's hypocrisy in first silencing those who truly followed Jesus and then exterminating them, just as they did the Cathars. Mr. Goudge does the world a service in revealing who to followers of
Jesus were. Then I found the book at: http://tinyurl.com/69cazll."
