Expressing Jesus as he really is, doesn't just take a reformation of thinking, but a complete   restructuring of our lives as followers.

Dancing Elephants

Dancing Elephants is both a commentary and a memoir. In the course of my life, I've been able to examine modern day Christianity from the inside and out. From the Bible-belt of Mississippi, the poutine laden Canada, the mountains of North Carolina, the hills of San Francisco and across various places around the globe, I guess you can say I’ve come away with more than a few observations.

This book is full of questions, with only a few answers. Even though some of my thoughts could be considered a bit unorthodox, my prayer is that the questions I ask will cause you to see life and God through fresh eyes and will give you hope for a better way.

I believe that if we will set aside our preconceived ideas and look at Jesus in a new light, we will begin to develop radically different ideas about the Church and the world around us. Dancing Elephants is simply my thoughts on grace, love and creating a better world. Whether a fundamentalist conservative, a progressive liberal, Catholic, Charismatic, Baptist, hippie, Orthodox, Athiest, Agnostic or simple seeker of truth, my prayer is that this project would open your heart and mind to something new. I hope you enjoy it.

To live interwoven lives that help in achieving the God-given dreams in our hearts. To embrace diversity. To bring social justice in society and government.

To seek after truth. To dance. To sing. To create. To heal. To give grace and hope. This is our mission.

Therefore, in everything we do we seek to create a new understanding of the Man Called 'Love'...
