Dispatches from the Interspiritual Front: Reflections on the Path... Craig Bergland

Interspirituality is the spirituality of the future - the very survival of our planet depends on it. We can no longer afford to hide behind tribal notions of religion, which lead us to fight wars in a futile attempt to prove who has the biggest and strongest God. Why are such wars futile? They are futile because the gods which drive them are fictions of our own creation. No God worth the name would encourage human beings to kill one another for any reason, much less in the name of God. This book is a collection of Interspiritual pioneer Craig Bergland's writings over the last several years. As founder and Presiding Bishop of The UAC, the first denomination to openly embrace Interspirituality and MBR (multiple religious belonging), Craig has been viewing the world from an Interspiritual perspective for three decades. His writing looks at every corner of society and seeks to raise it up to a pluralistic, Interspiritual perspective which recognizes that for our spirituality to have meaning and impact lives we must abandon the fiction of a separation between the sacred and the secular. At times provocative, at times irreverent, and always searingly honest, Craig's writing looks to a future where all people can recognize the interconnectedness of all that is - and that recognition will, at long last, lead us to peace.
