Happy birthday, Søren

The Lead

Søren Kierkegaard’s 200th birthday is May 5th. Jeffery Frank says that his greatest contribution may be how we communicate today.

Prayer and the focused imagination

The Lead

T.H. Luhrmann describes meeting people who had an auditory experience of God. Were they crazy or more intensely prayerful? She speculates that prayer both guides and disciplines the imagination.

Abundant hope can overcome climate despair

The Lead

The Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Church of Sweden (Lutheran) committed to “leading a conversion of epic scale, a metanoia, or communal spiritual movement away from sin and despair toward the renewal and healing of all creation.”

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition.  The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity.  Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
