We invite all people to join us around God’s altar, and to receive nourishment through the body and blood of Christ at the Eucharist. The words of the hymn “Let Us Build a House” express our philosophy well: “Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known. “Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face. Let this house proclaim from floor to rafter: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.” We invite you to join us!

Advance Praise for Christianity After Religion
Advance Praise for Christianity After Religion “She’s done it again! Diana Butler Bass has this unique ability to articulate clearly and compellingly what you’ve previously experienced as an intu- ition, a sense, a nudge. Many of us are aware of the massive shifts going on all around us, and here Diana gives us the gift of naming it, explaining it, and presenting the evidence. She’s spot-on prophetic, compelling, and most important, hopeful.” —Rob Bell, author of Love Wins “In this readable and engaging exploration of our present puzzling spiri- tual situation, Diana Bass takes a welcome stride beyond the already tired discussion of what so many people mean when they say they are ‘spiritual but not religious.’ She points the way beyond either clinging to or reject- ing creeds and institution-bound religion to a faith centered not on ‘what’ we believe (or do not believe) but on what she calls the ‘how’ question, the search for what is ‘actionable.’ The book is refreshing, evocative, well informed, and original. It will appeal to both professional and laypeople.” —Harvey Cox, author of The Future of Faith “American religious life is clearly changing, and fast. Diana Butler Bass explains how experience, connection, and service are replacing theology as keys to the next Great Awakening. It’s a fascinating story.” —Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth and founder of 360.org “Some people speak well, some people say what must be said, but fewer have both the experience and competence to speak so all can understand and even agree. Diana Butler Bass does all of the above—and even better, she does it with faith and love.

Diana Butler Bass Course Syllabus
For the personal use of teachers. Not for sale or redistribution. ©Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, 1996 Diana Butler Bass Course Syllabus Prepared for the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture by: Diana Butler Bass Rhodes College formerly Westmont College The Center is pleased to share with you the syllabi for introductory courses in American religion that were developed in seminars led by Dr. Harry S. Stout of Yale University. In all of the seminar discussions, it was apparent that context, or the particular teaching setting, was an altogether critical factor in envisioning how students should be introduced to a field of study. The justification of approach, included with each syllabus, is thus germane to how you use the syllabus. I. Syllabus Justification Rationale for Religious Studies 123: American Christianity This syllabus and course was organized while I taught in the religious studies department at Westmont College, a 1,200 student residential evangelical liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, California. Located in an extremely affluent and scenic locale, Westmont attracts upper middle class and upper class students. The 96% white student body makes it the least ethnically diverse college in California. Required to conform to a set of "Christian Life Expectations," students must take four religious studies courses (Old and New Testament, Christian doctrine and history of Christianity) and attend daily chapel. Almost all students profess to having a conversion experience and the vast majority are free church Protestants coming from such places as Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard Fellowships. The major denomination represented is the mainline Presbyterian Church (in California the PCUSA has a large evangelical wing).

We had spent the last several hours with a team of legal and financial experts in an effort to avoid a looming problem that threatened to turn into a major crisis for the company. The CEO was exhausted. He put his head in his hands and sighed: "What am I going to do? There are no good choices here." I responded, "Perhaps'you need to do what you think is right - what your conscience tells you is best." The CEO looked at me in surprise, and then just shook his head.

DBB Rls Draft
Author Diana Butler Bass comes to North Carolina May 18-20. Diana Butler Bass will speak about trends in religion and spirituality today from her new book, CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION: The End of the Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening, at the following venues: • May 18: Raleigh, 7 PM-9:30 PM, at Brier Creek Community Center • May 19: Greensboro, 10 AM-12:30 PM, at The Global Learning Center at Bennett College • May 20: Charlotte, 2 PM-4:30 PM, at Thompson Child and Family Focus, Clanton Rd Campus. These events are free and open to the public. Donations to the host organizations are welcome. We will also accept canned goods for local food banks. Every recent survey of American religious practice shows that conventional religion is in serious decline; at the same time, people express high levels of enthusiasm for spirituality. What does this mean for our own lives, churches, and religion more broadly? During this event, we'll explore the big picture of how the 3Bs, “believing, behaving, and belonging,” are changing as we discern the shape of emerging spirituality and the implications of these changes on faith, congregations, and culture. ABOUT THE AUTHOR DIANA BUTLER BASS is the author of eight books, including Christianity for the Rest of Us and A People’s History of Christianity. She blogs at The Huffington Post and Patheos and regularly comments on religion, politics, and culture in the media including USA TODAY, Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post, CNN, FOX, PBS, and NPR.
