Since the first centuries of the Christian church until now, across the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant spectrum, noteworthy leaders have made the same assertion, and it is a bold one.

• In the 2nd century, St. Irenaeus said it: ‘Through his transcendent love, our Lord Jesus Christ became what we are, that he might make us into what he is.’
• In the 4th century St. Athanasius, said it: ‘God became man that man might become God.’
• In the 5th century St. Augustine said it: “God wanted to be the Son of Man and he wanted men and women to be Sons of God.”
• In the 16th Century Martin Luther said it: ‘For the Word becomes flesh precisely so that the flesh may become word.’
• Last century CS Lewis said it: ‘The Son of God became a man to enable men and women to become sons of God.’

That’s what Coracle is about most fundamentally: helping each other say a loud “Yes!” to the invitation to share in the life of Jesus while we’re in the world–to incarnate the Incarnation–and share the love of Jesus to this beautiful and broken world, for the glory of God empowered by the Holy Spirit.  For a fuller treatment of this in sermon form, click HERE

Coracle exists “to inspire and enable people to be the presence of God in the world by offering spiritual formation and Kingdom action.” This is our mission.

Our vision is do to that in a number of ways including spiritual direction and discipleship, retreats for individuals and groups, sacramental ministry and services, pilgrimage, communication, and ministries of mercy and justice, mission trips, and creation care.

More than finding out more, however, we want you to join us.   The journey to be who we are in Christ is a crazy one, and much better (in fact only possible) when shared with others!
