As we step into a new year at The Oceanside Sanctuary and a renewed vision and mission, you are invited to lean into community and help us cultivate a Christian spirituality “reclaiming its calling to be known for love, liberation, and the celebration of God’s image in all people.”
Join us for a discussion with David Gushee, author of The Moral Teachings of Jesus, for our December Book Club Zoom: “The growing movement of post-evangelicalism highlights an opportunity to elevate and center the moral teachings of Jesus. So many of those who identify as Christian intuitively know that their old version of faith is no longer working, and they feel a theological vacuum.”
On November 21, 1875 thirteen pioneering souls started a small family church in a one-room schoolhouse near Mission San Luis Rey in what is now Oceanside, California. They called it simply, The Christian Church at San Luis Rey because it was one of the first congregations of The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination in Southern California.
Season 11 of The Collective Table podcast will highlight stories of empathy. While some Christian leaders are promoting the idea that empathy is a sin, we think it is a vital aspect of love. Can you recall a time when your empathy for someone moved you to take action in ways that stretched you to grow?
