The Spirit of the Firebird is relational. It’s all about connecting
… to Essence …
… to Self …
… to Others …
to the World around us, and the World within us.
With all the changes in our nation (and the world), with all of the divisions, separation and challenges facing us every day, the roles of community … of faith … of hope … of love … all affect the ways we see ourselves and our world.
Firebird Spirit is NOT A CHURCH …
at least not in the traditional sense … not with a
“Capital C”
The Spirit connects us in a COMMUNITY OF HOPE, and although we are rooted in the progressive and prophetic Reformed Theology of Jesus-followers, we embrace all faith backgrounds as well as those with no faith affiliation. We are constantly EVOLVING in how we walk the Way.
The programs that we offer online are constantly changing. Every program is an Act of Faith, or sometimes referred to as an Act of Hope, and they include FIREBIRD WORSHIP, a weekly worship service, as well as other groups through our LEARNING HUB.
The Firebird is a Spirit of BOTH-AND … not either-or. You do not need to stop participating in groups, churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. where you are currently affiliated, but our offerings can augment what you currently have. OR … Maybe you live in a part of the country where you think more progressively than your neighbors, or where your own self-defining adjectives make it a not safe place for you to connect with other people.
In the last year, we have had participants join us from many parts of the country (Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Washington state as well as other places that we are unaware of) as well as other global locations (Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, the Philippines, and Australia).
We are here from many different faith routes and backgrounds (Agnostic, American Baptist, Baha’i, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Unitarian, and United Methodist as well as those who identify as “none of the above”).
Everything is an example of our …
We all have things that we identify as spiritual in our lives. And those things are frequently NOT all found in the same place. So what DO we need in order to shore up a spiritual foundation?
