  Were you raised in a church family with regular bible study, prayer meetings, testimony sessions, old fashion hymns, contemporary praise and worship? Are you feeling away from God or from fellowship with the brethren because of your sexual orientation/gender identity/gender expression or that of a child, parent or sibling? Would you like to meet with others like you for an hour of praise, bible study, and prayers and just experience God's unconditional love? I have a burden to start something …

Some gatherings have specific themes, but all gatherings thus far have been an opport …

Here's a link for more information: http://lightlectureseries.com/minneapolis/ All events are held at the Center of Light, a non denominational Christian Mysticial Center. No matter where we are in life, there is always more to learn. While it is easy to find continuing education classes that can help you learn a foreign language or a new hobby, there is little to no support available for those who are interested in moving beyond the realm of learning new skills and into the adventure of learnin …

Many people are lonely, grieving and know despair during the holidays when others around them are partying or caroling. Our holiday culture forces them to hide their feelings and even makes them feel guilty about not participating in the season's festivities. The purpose of this group is to honor their feelings, provide them a safe place to gather with others like them, surrounded by those who love them, unconditionally. This experience, while grounded in the Christian tradition, welcomes all wh …

Meetings will be Friday evenings. Please join if you are interested in committing to a small group of Christian believers and are willing to risk making frie …

Meet with regular people (like the disciples) that have, above all else, a yearning to know the real Truth.  There are a few of us who have each discovered in different ways that the Authorized Version of 1611 or King James Bible is God's Word (Jesus) perfectly preserved for us today in English. All modern bible per-versions are an attempt to attack and pervert the Truth and bring about a one-world religion. Studying the many verses that are omitted can give a person a new appreciation for the K …

Kabbalah is a tradition whose roots extend back to the most remote history of the earth. Although considered a Judeo-Christian mysticism by many, it has been influenced by every golden age in the evolution of the western world. Throughout it's venerable life span the Kabbalah has remained adaptable to contemporary thought and compatible with western lifestyles, earning it the title of "The Ancient Yoga of the West".

We believe that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics are members of Christ’s mystical body, numbered among the People of God. We have an inherent dignity because God created us, Christ died for us, and the Holy Spirit sanctified us in Baptism, making us Temples of the Spirit, and channels through which God’s love might become visible. Because of this, it is our right, our privilege, and our duty to live the sacramental life of the church, so that we might become more powerful instru …

From the outside it looks like we are holding hands, singing the Names of God from all around the world, and doing easy round dance forms. From the inside we are having quick and radical shifts in awareness as an entire group. The Persian poet Rumi speaks of "the Wine of Love". Jesus speaks of "the Peace that passes understanding." The Buddha speaks of "the Emptiness", not as absence but as potentiality. These and much, much more are available, not as poetic ideas but as direct experience. Word …
