About Ron Cole

Follow Me

I have followed and been engaged in the emerging conversation since the early 2000's, I'm a painter, writer, musician and day dreamer with a wild imagination. I was involved in the church for some 25 years from everything from cleaning toilets, treasurer, sunday school, teacher...but was carried by a gradual tide to the fringe of the church and beyond. I am now involved in an inner city ministry, hanging out with the poor, addicts and mentally ill...feeding, clothing and loving them. I have a passion for progressive theology pursuing the redemptive scandalous imagination of Jesus and his Kingdom...what it all means now, in this moment of time.
