In the decades following the crucifixion of Jesus, his community of followers was called The Way. It consisted of mostly small groups of believers meeting in peoples' homes, often in secret, because its practitioners were sometimes considered heretics and malcontents that could be put to death for insurrection. It is important to recognize that Jesus neither started nor desired to establish a new religion. He was a devout Jew to the end. The life and teachings of Jesus model a conscious communion with God that is applicable within any religious belief system, including no formal belief system. His was a way of living everyday lifein better alignment with God - thus, The Way. His message was for all people, regardless of their religion. The Christianity that must eventually be crucified, that we must mature beyond, is the Christianity that has devolved into a philosophy, institution, culture, and/or business that leaves us living life out of alignment with God. While I am not suggesting religious institutions be destroyed, those who are serious about spiritual development will eventually find themselves searching outside of any specific system of organized belief in order to better discern their path. Crucifying Christianity, Resurrecting the Way will help one begin that journey of transformation.
