What’s in a Name? Decolonizing Personal Spiritual Ecologies

Last updated on: May 24, 2017 at 6:33 am By Jason M. Brown

Being present to a person, place, or organism, we listen to what they might say about the world, about ourselves, or about God. Perhaps it is with this practice that new names and thus, new worlds might arise. Read more

Is Pluralism Compatible with Secularism?

Last updated on: January 25, 2018 at 12:56 pm By Jason M. Brown

I’m just thinking out loud. Is Pluralism compatible with Secularism? You might be thinking, well, aren’t they pretty much the same? Isn’t a Pluralist society, where each is able to practice the religion of their choosing, the same as a society where there is no official religion? Oxford defines Secularism, from the Latin for ‘world,’ as being that which is not connected with religion, or the separation between church and state. On the other hand, Oxford defines Pluralism as “a condition... Read more

From Punjab to British Columbia

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 12:53 pm By Jason M. Brown

What amazes me about the Sikhs is their devotion to selfless service. They put on fundraisers, blood drives, feed the homeless etc. They are also passionate... Read more

The Tower of Silence

Last updated on: March 4, 2017 at 10:06 am By Jason M. Brown

I recently did an interview with three Zoroastrians who live here in Vancouver. As I was preparing for the interview, I learned the fascinating history of the death rituals practiced by ancient and some modern Zoroastrian communities. Briefly, Zoroastrians are followers of the teachings of the prophet Zarathustra, or Zoroaster in Greek, who is thought to have lived some time between 1,500 and 650 BCE. They are probably the first monotheistic religions with a great reverence for the elements, especially... Read more
