I'm a progressive Christian minister offering commentary on interfaith, spiritual, theological and socio-cultural issues. I bring a practical, positive, progressive, and pluralistic Christian perspective raising awareness of and promoting God's Spirit of love, equality, and justice. I'm striving to cultivate a Christian faith that embraces plurality, engages the other, and lives in the questions.

Kabbalah Centre's 'Spirituality for Kids' Class Criticized
"The program, created by a leader of the L.A.-based Kabbalah Centre International, is promoted as a way to teach children how to make wise choices. Critics say it brings religion into public schools." The leaders of the program say its guiding children in after-school programs in how to navigate their way through life and make wise choices. On the other hand, critics content that it breaches the separation of "church and state" because it's based on Jewish religious foundation and being forwarded in public after-school classrooms. Seema Mehta of the LA Times reports the story.
