Dawn of the Panentheist Circle

The Panentheist Circle was formed in October 2005 with a view to laying the foundations for a new type of movement that, while being primarily spiritual in its ethos, would seek to develop a revolutionary social agenda. The organization's basic world outlook is akin to that of the philosopher Daniel J Shepard's Symbiotic Panentheism, but we further espouse what we denote as a sui generis Christology. The exemplary figure of the historical Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua ha Mashiakh is very much at the Circle's heart. Indeed, writers contributing to our online theoretical journal - Panentheist.net – edited by Stephen Nuttall include the likes of Barbara Thiering and Margaret Starbird. Additionally, the Circle is influenced by what has come to be termed the New Science - i.e. "the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology" - and finds basic accord with belief systems as seemingly diverse as Gaudiya Vaishnavism (a form of Hinduism), Kabbalah, Shin Buddhism, Sikhism and Sufism, as well as certain kinds of Neopaganism.
