#humanisticchristianity — Public Fediverse posts

Any thoughts or ideas on publicising the Kowethas Kernow project?

It's essentially designed to be a dispersed Celtic Monastic-style community for people who enjoy traditional forms of church (music, art, architecture, food, liturgy etc) but who are also doubters, dissenters, heretics, agnostics, atheists, and Humanists.

I also view it very much as an #eXvangelical project, an effort to take the 'teeth' out of toxic, harmful, (and dare I say, colonialist, white supremacist) Christianity.

I use an #Anglican framework, because I find its structures useful, (for example liturgy, the liturgical year, and its emphasis on #tradition.)

It is inevitably a #WorkInProgress, I have no idea if #HumanisticChristianity will catch on, it may not, but for me it is a kind of #therapy, working through it all.

#HumanisticJudaism is a stream of #Judaism which embraces the culture, art, music, literature, feasts, festivals, food etc. of the Jewish people, but without reference to 'God' or the supernatural.

Inspired by my experience of Humanistic Judaism, I decided to take a look back again at the religion of my birth, to see if there was anything good, positive, healthy, worth retaining.

#KowethasKernow and its sister projects, #Mengwyden and
#HumanisticChristianity are all part of that...

Oh, just a funny anecdote.
My #HumanisticChristianity project is inspired by #HumanisticJudaism.

Recently I decided to have a look at my ancestry, to look for a reputed Jewish connection. (My maternal grandfather had claimed to be Jewish)

What we found though, bizarrely, was a very unexpected ArchDeacon and ArchBishop of Canterbury!!!

I don't know whether my ancestors would be pleased or appalled at my #agnostic, #interfaith #multifaith #Humanist perspective and projects!

Introducing myself:

I am an #Exvangelical. #Agnostic PK (Preacher's kid/ pastor's kid).

Right on the very outside edge of #ProgressiveChristianity.

I do not believe in a deity or the supernatural, and I describe myself as a 'Humanist'.

But I also still absolutely love so much about the stories, the #church, #music, #art, #architecture, #liturgy etc., especially 'high church'.

My journey included briefly being put forward for the #Anglican priesthood.
