As Unitarian Universalists, we know there are many interpretations of the life and death of Jesus. Drawing on the work of Cynthia Bourgeault, an Episcopal Priest who draws on Christian scripture and the Wisdom Tradition, we will look at the non-dual Jesus who urged us to be fully present with others, the Jesus who urged us to be free of ego and to not keep score of rights and wrongs. This Jesus advocates for the transformation of human consciousness. 

In June 2017, Rev. Jeff Jones left full-time parish ministry (nine years in Fredericksburg, VA, and seven years in Marietta, GA) to pursue Community Ministry in Compassionate Living, a cornerstone of which is Nonviolent (Compassionate) Communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg. He and his wife now live in Asheville, and he is enjoying creating this new ministry as student, aspiring practitioner, and facilitator.
