The cultivation of compassion is a process of recovery—of retrieving the compassionate instinct that has become buried and obscured, either in the moment or over time. In this way, self-compassion, personal restoration, and healing are essential components of Jesus’ spiritual path of compassion. Our tradition teaches that every human being is created in the image of God, and thus, God’s compassionate instinct lives within us. We are most fully alive when we live from this essence. <a href= "http://www.theloftla.org/?fbclid=IwAR0eW0uH6w9wde4QbnOp-WXBgzwoiQKfLhAX--7DopUEOUOOoj9SO60Vq_I"> www.TheLoftLA.org</a>

Loft Gathering: Recovering Our Compassionate Core

The Loft is a progressive Christian community that is unapologetically inclusive. If you're curious about what a socially and politically progressive Christianity looks like, this podcast is for you.

This podcast is the edited audio from our weekly Sunday gathering of people who are interested in following Jesus’ spiritual path of radical compassion.

Their are four values that inform and help form our community:

- Conversation is the center of our gatherings. We facilitate a conversational approach to thinking about and living out our faith together.

- Belonging defines who we are and aim to be. We are not isolated individuals but people who belong in divine grace.

- Compassion is God’s love in action. It is in serving and helping others – we actively take the good news out into our city and the world.

- Decolonization is our theological approach. We are committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing Christianity in order to better love and serve the world.
