Greeting to all of you here at COJK. I am Sentinel, a Padawan from RJK and a current member of the Jedi Council there, as several of your member already know. I would like to apply to join here as an Ally or Ambassador here. Though I would love to train here in the future, I can't at the current time. I believe it would be disrespectful to my Master. However I would like to broaden my training horizons in the future if that meets with your approval. I have a great deal of respect for the good work you do here and for many of your members. If anyone would like to ask any questions of me regarding this application, then please don't hesitate to contact me. Take care everyone *bows* |

I am a little uncertain of where my life is leading me at the moment. Not sure what is coming but it frightens me. My training at RJK is helping to prepare me for what is coming but has been somewhat abortive of late. I am not a religious man as many who know me are aware. I have no prejudice against anyone who is, just that religion isn't for me. My feelings are a little scrambled at the moment thats all. Not sure why I posted this here or whether I should have done but I feel a little btter having got it off my chest. |

Maybe God led you to do it, even if you aren't aware of it. I think that we all feel that something big is about to happen in our world, and surely God wants to prepare us, also through the Force. The advice I feel like telling you, trust the Force, join its flow, in training, living each day, try to observe your fear and then let go of it. Be also sure, that you aren't alone to face what may happen. I don't know why but I have a good feeling about the future... Feel free to PM me whenever you wish. Master Silmerion |

Sentinel my good friend. I am in the same boat as you, for I too am not much of a religious man. However, I felt something compelling me to be here, maybe rekindling my religion. Anyway, I am just glad that you are here :) Sorry that I am using an alias, it's just that I am still not 100% about my religion and such and want my COJK to be kept apart from my RJK training :) |

I agree with Master Silmerion, I think both God and the Force lead you to come here. My advice too, would be to trust the Force, meditate on these feelings you are having. Also, journal about these feelings, and where you feel the Force is guiding you. It's helps me. As always, feel free to PM me anytime. |

Even I am having scrambled feeling right now. I have found that every 500 years, even going back 1000 years before Jesus, the church experiences a huge transformation that not only spawns something new, but to some extent purifies the original from which it sprang. In 1000 B.C. it was the time when Kings replaced the Judges as rulers over Israel. 500 years later was when Nebuchadnezzer destroyed the temple and took Israel into captivity in Babylon. Another 500 years saw the time of Jesus, then 500 years later the time of Gregory I and the establishment of the monastic movement. Around 1000 A.D. came the schism between what would become the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. 500 years later it was the birth of Protestantism with the Reformation. Now another 500 years have passed. There is a movement that started about fifteen years ago and is beginning to pick up speed. It is called the Emerging Church Movement. I attended a conference about it three years ago that had attendees from all over the world. While a lot of conservative Christians make a big to do about all the things they don't do - smoke, drink, have tattoos/piercings, etc. The Emerging Church Movement is about simply doing things that need to be done to make sure all people have enough to eat, have shelter, have enough money to live on, etc. It is about being compassionate to the woman who finds herself in need of an abortion. And compassionate to the gay couple who simply wants to have the same right to happiness as a straight couple. Now I have a chance to be part of the first Emerging Church that is starting in my area. It's going to be very difficult. It is much easier to be part of the judgmental majority than it is to be part of the loving, inclusive minority. Conservative Christians have already turned on us and have been trying to discredit us. But I believe that this is the truth that Jesus came to teach. After all, this is the man who said love your enemies, pray and do good for them. |

I also feel there will be huge changes in this period, in religion and in all the world. I personally have a very positive feeling about it. As you know I am a Catholic, but I respect all the Christian denominations as well as all the other Religions. I think God links all of us, but each of us has a special way to walk to help God in His Great Plan. God always seems to tell me the same thing: love. I think that it is the center of what it is to follow Jesus, for the Catholic, the Emerging Church, the Protestans...but also the Buddhists, Muslims...and those who say they don't believe in God but follow His way of love every day.

Master Kai, if it is not too much trouble could you PM me details about this new Christian order? It just sounds like everything I originally expected of Christianity when I was younger. The difference between being judgemental and having to do so much just for any recognition in a church is something that made me turn from Chhristianity. However, this that you have spoken about is the kind of thing that is what a religion should be about, and definately what Jesus preached to us. Just an example from someone not overly familiar with the bible anymore; but many Christians and Catholics nowadays (and I'm not saying all, just a general stereotype from an outsidrs viewpoint) will look at a girl who is a prostitute and look down on her, and judge her for her sins. Yet we are told that Jesus was the only person to not turn his back on Mary Magdalene. He saw her as someone who did what she did and repented. Many people do not look at the full picture, just what is in front of them. Anyway onto what this blatently rubbish example is getting at >.<, this new order seems exactly the thing that Jesus would have started all those years ago. We all make mistakes, we all stray from the righteous path, but as long as we truely repent and beg forgiveness, is that not what our humble, forgiving and loving God meant for us? To understand and learn from our sins? I am writing this and understanding now that maybe it was God's will that I am here, and I'm sorry Sentinel for hijacking your thread here, to hear about this new order Master, as it is inspiring my orginal feelings which made me want to follow the path of God. I thank you master. And I apologise for such a long-winded response >.< |

If you google "emerging church movement" you can find information about it. One Christian pastor and author who is very much a driving force behind it is Brian McLaren. He has written a number of excellent books on the topic. Two especially good ones are "A Generous Orthodoxy" and "The Secret Message of Jesus." |
