Searching for God?

Are you wondering whether God exists?

Are you asking yourself who or what "God" is?

Where God can be found in our modern world?

Would you like to get in touch with God - if that were possible?

 

You can learn from traditional religion, yes.

But beware. Traditional religion, including traditional Christianity, harbours many naive, simplistic and even superstititious assumptions about God.

The modern exploration of our universe calls for a thorough overhaul of traditional concepts.

God as Mystery and Beyond proves to be so much greater and deeper than many traditional religious thinkers could imagine.

We are Christians who believe that Jesus' revelation of God as Love is not hostile to our modern world. Gospel values and secular values can and should be integrated.

And the sciences, properly understood, do not disprove God. In fact, they help us get rid of misconceptions and force us to refine our understanding of God.

On this website we offer a variety of resourses. Some establish facts and clarify concepts about God. Other ones suggest ways of reaching out to God in ways compatible with our present-day life.

Learning from Mystics

Mystics were extraordinary persons who were convinced that they were in touch with the creative Mind behind our universe. Though many claims made in the name of religion can be shown to spring from illusion, mysticism as such is rooted in a valid human perception of reality.

But mystics lived in their own times and within different circumstances. What we can learn from them should adapted to our own life and culture.
