Jesus and the End of Religion: The End of Religion book

Jesus and the End of Religion

Jesus did not intend to establish a new religion, Christianity. Instead he showed us a new way to approach God and others. Unfortunately, however, his simple message was quickly institutionalized. Despite its many adherents, the Christian religion has lost its way and is viewed negatively by much of the world because of its history and current distortions. In the spirit of Jesus' message, it's time for religion (especially Christianity) to die, and for the resurrection of new faith and life.

The End of Religion book

I was interested to learn that Bruxy Cavey of The Meeting House church in the Toronto area has written a book by the title, The End of Religion: An Introduction to the Subversive Spirituality of Jesus.

Cavey and The Meeting House have long been a proponent of the conviction that the message of Jesus is not about religion. But, this is more than just words. As a guiding principle, they truly work to practice this in all that they do. Back in June I posted a brief report on my personal visit to the church.

The End of Religion book (great title, eh?) is, unfortunately, available only from The Meeting House through a special web-site: www.theendofreligion.org. I'm placing my order today!
