A space for Anglicans, evangelicals, seekers and wanderers whose traditional faith has broken open — but who still sense something real. Here we explore God as consciousness, near-death experience and mystical Christianity, and look for practical ways to rebuild a faith that actually heals.
In this first episode, Len shares fifty years of parish ministry, industrial chaplaincy and army chaplaincy — and the long path that led him to ask harder questions about God, consciousness, and what lies beyond traditional theology.
Len has served for over fifty years as an Anglican priest, walking alongside people through birth, death, doubt and devotion. His years as a parish priest, industrial chaplain and army chaplain put him face to face with real suffering, moral injury, and the questions theology often struggles to answer.
Over decades, Len has studied God-consciousness, mystical traditions, near-death experience and contemporary spiritual thought. Not only as a student but he has embraced and included new understandings along the way and put to one side beliefs that have not served or worked for him. His aim isn't to dismantle Christianity — it's to keep what's true, name what causes harm, and offer a wider, kinder vision of God.
Many people feel spiritually homeless — unable to stay inside the old doctrines, afraid of losing God altogether. This site exists to build a bridge between traditional faith, consciousness and lived human pain, so that a new spiritual home becomes possible.
Five seasons, each one face to face with a different part of the journey — from the breaking, through the questions, toward something rebuilt.
The pain of losing traditional faith: grief, shame, the fear of divine punishment, and the ache of losing community and identity. Len speaks directly to the wound beneath the silence.
A philosophical and spiritual exploration of God as consciousness, the nature of reality, and how mystics, philosophers and modern thinkers keep arriving at the same larger vision of the divine.
What people report when they cross over and return: the light, the life review, overwhelming love, an expanded sense of self — and what it might mean for the soul, beyond simple heaven-and-hell models.
Meditation, prayer as alignment, intuition, synchronicity and other so-called "new age" ideas — sifted carefully for what genuinely helps, and what tends to confuse or harm.
Reading Jesus as a teacher of consciousness, scripture as symbolic wisdom, and building a living faith that can grow with you instead of confining you.
Dover Beach
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Ægæan, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
