My name's Lucas. I was delighted to happen upon this forum, as I've been a long time admirer of John Shelby Spong's writing, and of the the principles of progressive christianity. I've been a practising zen buddhist for some years, and Iconsider buddhist practise to be perfectly complementary to being christian. Like many PC's, I also see God as the ground of being, the source of love and of life... we don't talk about God so much in Buddhist sanghas, though with all our focus on mindfulness, oneness and connectedness, it has always seemed to me that God is the thing or experience we're connecting with (again, that's just my personal view/experience)...
So I look forward to connecting with you guys too... I hope you are all well, wherever you are (I'm in NYC, btw)..
