In the case of Christianity, violent images and expectations of God permeate our theology, worship, music, and liturgies. Worship in the Spirit of Jesus has three main goals:
- to engage adult lay Christians in discussions that examine how and why Christianity came to have so many violent images and expectations of God
- to describe the historical and modern consequences of these violent images and expectations
- to offer alternative theological understandings and worship resources that are rooted in the nonviolent spirit of Jesus.
