At any moment in the culture we belong to we can study both “how we got here” and the “where are we heading”. Philosophers, researchers, scientists, theologians, and students of history have always turned their gaze to the ‘big picture’ as well as the details, turning points, and events that mark the evolution of humanity. Re-mapping history, theology, culture and politics occurs in every age, as we bump up against the limits of the reigning worldviews and seek to live in ever greater freedom and love.
Noting the slow disappearance of the sacred in the public sphere we’ll trace its roots and the ‘desecrating’ forces at work in our times. Turning to the presence of the Christ Being in world evolution (the “turning point of time”) we’ll work with anthroposophical Christology to find ways into the devotional path of service.
Without knowing who we are, where we stand, and where we are going makes it nearly impossible to navigate the technological, medical, environmental confusion that reigns in our time. Getting glimpses of ‘who we are and what we are here for’ makes it possible to imagine something new, referred to in sacred text as a “new heaven and a new earth”— a world that awaits our co-creation.
