The Curiosity Journey

Do you love a good question? How do you feel about exploring something new? Can the pull of nostalgia coexist with hope for the future? The Curiosity Journey is an invitation to participate in an experience of wonder and discovery. This month-long retreat-style resource is designed for those open to being curious and to let that curiosity lead an exploration of faith and possibility.

Throughout the ages, the Church has flexed and changed alongside contemporary society and culture. In some eras, change was enormous. In other periods, time seemed to stand still, the decades stretching to centuries with a routine rhythm to the ways of practicing Christian faith. Not so long ago, the Church was the place of answers and moral codes. In many countries, at least one church building could be found in every small village and town. Today, as ancient church buildings find new lives as homes or galleries, our internal spiritual landscapes are also profoundly changing. The horizon is shifting. We’re experiencing an unquenchable thirst to find new pathways for faith. Once, the trend was to know the right answer, and asking questions was akin to having doubts and lacking faith. Increasingly today, as an expression of our faith, there is a hunger for asking questions that have no easy answers. In this curious space where humans and our technologies fall short of the answers we seek, we connect with the mysteries of God.Reaching into our past, searching for curios, sitting contemplatively in the present and casting forward with hope into what might be ahead on our path, The Curiosity Journey is a creative approach to re-enchanting our Christian faith, inspiring wonder and awe.
