Thank you guys for coming out to the Missing Mountains reading. I am very interested in the guiding aesthetic, if you will, of your blog. The choices you make are interesting, readable. How can I learn more about the Ashram(I'm a non-Christian)?
hey whitney,
thanks for your comment.
the best way to learn about our 'guiding aesthetic' is to meet us :)
we are interested in how the ways of jesus can be worked out in this time and place. more than interested, really - we are very much comitted to love as jesus demonstated it. we believe that by following jesus we are caught up in a movement that seeks a world of love and justice - where the voiceless are given a voice and oppressive forces are confronted with the sermon on the mount. we have been learning that these things can only be realized in a community that is open to the world around it so we are especially careful not to form a christian ghetto. we are mostly stumbling and questioning our way into these things but we are increasingly surprised what a beautiful and eclectic collection of people can be gathered around such principles.
there is lots more. feel free to email sherry and me (geoffandsherry@yahoo.com) if you want to know more. thanks again for reading 'the ashram'.
peace
