“Actively promoting the revival of the meditative and contemplative traditions among mainline Christians today is Renovaré (pronounced Ren-o-var-ay, Latin meaning ‘to make new spiritually’), founded by psychologist Richard J. Foster.” (Al Dager, Media Spotlight, “Renovaré”)

Richard Foster, President of Renovaré

Author, Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth (Harper San Francisco)

1978 edition states: “We of the New Age can risk going against the tide. Let us with abandon relish the fantasy games of children. Let's see visions and dream dreams.”

Currents in World Christianity Project

CWC Project based at Cambridge University [UK] Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies [CARTS]

Note: CWCP is facilitating the transition from the Protestant missionary movement [accused of ‘westernizing’ underdeveloped nations] to the globalization [and redefinition] of Christianity via “Evangelicalism” and “Pentecostalism.”

CWC Project Conference [3-7 July 2001] / Westminster College, Cambridge

“…brought together 120 theologians, historians and sociologists from all over the world to look at the effect of globalisation on Christians and the extent to which their religion is now rooted in the southern hemisphere.”

CWC conference speaker, Dr. Jehu Hanciles [Anglican theologian based at Fuller Theological Seminary]:

Pentecostalism thrives because it taps into an innate African spirituality. Its phenomenal success on the African continent raises the question of whether Africa needs American ministries as much as American ministries need Africa.” [See: Ecumenical News]
