About Renovaré
“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.”

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]
