Experiencing Ecological Christianity
Experiencing Ecological Christianity is the third in the series Experience! Faith Formation Curriculum for Adults.
Based on the bestselling book Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the Cosmos by Bruce Sanguin, Experiecing Ecological Christianity invites participants to focus on the ecological crisis. According to Bruce Sanguin, Today, there is nothing more critical than a compassionate response to the plight of our planet. The church must be at the forefront of shifting human consciousness away from an ethic of domination for economic gain, and toward a spirituality of awe.
The Emerging Church
"Recommended for all who are eager
to see church renewed!
Sanguin dares to walk his talk
and to ressurect church life
using models from the new cosmology,
creation spirituality, and his own 20 years of
Ministry in the trenches and the pews."

Reviews:
“Sanguin synthesizes a vast amount of information, ranging from the Apocrypha to cutting-edge physics, and makes it accessible to the layperosn. In a way that is at once open-hearted and intellectually disciplined, he has created an inspired and much needed new approach to the evolving, often acrimonious relationship between science and spirit.

Here’s what reviewers have said about "Summoning the Whirlwind"
Reviews:
"While many mainline Canadian clergy play it safe and bland, Sanguin feels called to tell it like it is. He sets out what it means to stand up as a progressive Christian in the 21st century. These highly readable, even entertaining, sermons reveal the mind of an intellectual with a passion for justice. But they're also the vulnerable self-reflections of a man with a poetic sensibility and a generous spirit, including towards those with whom he strongly disagrees."
--- Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun
"These sermons, soaked in the Bible and the best of current Christian thinking, light up the story of our lives and of our times. Inclusive, challenging, and seasoned with his own experience as a therapist, Bruce Sanguin lets no one nod off as he consistently points the way to the good news God gives our taking. Keep this man preaching!"
--- The Very Rev. Dr. Bruce McLeod, former moderator of the United Church of Canada, and Past President of the Canadian Council of Churches
"Bruce Sanguin's sermons take the reader on a remarkable, intense journey, both inward and outward. His reflections prod the reader to turn inward and discover their personal, spiritual identity. At the same time, he insists that the reader look outward and consider what this implies for authentic Christian living in a global world."
--- Stephen Ward, Associate Professor of Journalism Ethics,
University of British Columbia
"As Bruce describes in his introduction, as a preacher he seeks to enter the turbulent whirlwind of text and world in order to encounter a "swirling force powerful enough to overturn and re-create"...and to create words that will to touch down like a tornado, "deep within one's soul, overturning old habits of thought, and outworn attitudes and beliefs." As the church struggles to find new forms and new paths of faithfulness, Bruce Sanguin is a preacher who lives and speaks in a compelling and authentic way consistently urging, inviting and challenging others to claim and to exercise their own citizenship in God's holy kin-dom. This book of sermons is a rich treasure to empower readers to embrace the chaos of our time and be open to re-creation of a new earth. As a reader, I was touched, comforted, opened to new sight, encouraged and invigorated."
