Join Charlie and Brian, non-binary Christopagan Druids, as they delve into the Christopagan Manifesto and discuss breaking free from the chains of the Imperial church. Explore the journey that began in 1998, influenced by thinkers like Bishop John Shelby Spong, and the evolution of their spiritual path. This episode focuses on the confluence of church and empire, the pitfalls of dominionism and fundamentalism, and the need for unity rooted in diversity. Discover their call to rise up against spiritual authoritarianism and embrace a new, Christopagan spirituality.
