Religions as they emerge in space and time are contextually based. They speak from the language and issues from their context. All great Prophets are limited in scope, speaking the Truth of spirit in the limited vocabulary of their time.

Moses gave the law, called a people out to be a model. In the Law were the seeds of justice, the call to beat their swords into plowshares.

Jesus extended that. Jesus challenged free market thought. Jesus told us to ignore laws that great hiearchys of value. That all belonged in Gods Kingdom, which was a present tense reality.

Islam and Bahai did the same. The latter extending the call of spirit to democracy and the inclusion of children and women.

But we need a new spirit. One that looks at science and art as part of the unfolding holy text of Spirit in our time. We need a new spirit that expands on equality for all including gay and lesbians, we need to have a theory of Spirit that is for our time, our day and our place.
