I teach philosophy at the City University of New York which might be in tension with my role as an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disiples of Christ); I tend to believe in the coincidence of opposites; Feel free to hate me for being too liberal for a Christian or too Christian for a liberal. I try to love my enemies. I'm probably too religious to be a good scientist and too scientific to be truly religious. Still, I try for the truth even if I can't always understand it. So, I recently started "Tent" It's a group of seekers that gather to search, ponder, probe, wrestle, argue, praise, rejoice, and proclaim the overflowing and accepting, unconditional love of God every Sunday at 4pm in the back of a "bar" (66 Greenpoint Ave). There are no bars to the grace of God. We also meet in the city Saturday afternoons at 3pm at 1010 Park Ave (at 85th). We stand for no intolerance or judgment, but leave that to God, who leads us to stand by the door. We worship as an interfaith congregation, research as a community of inquirers, and pray with hope in God's love and forgiveness and doubt in our grasp and understanding of it.
