God, Consciousness and Science
Led by Don MacGregor
The world is rapidly changing. How do we move Christianity into the 21st century when so much of its doctrine is still heavily influenced by the medieval mentality? Don MacGregor will draw upon insights from emerging scientific perspectives together with wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions to reach towards a re-imagining of God and the Christ that is meaningful and helpful for today.Some have said ‘it is now rational to be spiritual’ and Don hopes to put some meat on the bones of that tantalising statement by re-examining some central Christian teachings in the light of the universe as we understand it this century.

Don MacGregor Don MacGregor wrote ‘Blue Sky God: the Evolution of Science and Christianity’ in 2012, containing some ‘blue sky thinking’ about the relationship between Science and Christianity, and has now embarked on The Wisdom Series, a number of shorter books suitable for groups to work through. The first, published in 2020, is entitled “Christianity Expanding: Into Universal Spirituality”. His passion is to help in moving the Church out of the medieval world-view and into the 21st century.
After many years of ministry, he has now retired to St Davids in North Pembrokeshire, West Wales. He started as a science teacher in Leicester for 13 years and during that time he was involved politically in the Green movement, and studied theosophy and other esoteric subjects. He then became involved with Christianity and entered the ordained ministry in the Church of England. He worked in churches large and small in Birmingham and Leicester, then took a chaplaincy at Loughborough University for 6 years, before moving to West Wales in 2004, eventually ending as Ministry Team Leader for fifteen small rural churches. His Christian journey also expanded from evangelical and charismatic to mystical and esoteric with an emphasis on meditation and contemplative prayer. His other roles have included spiritual director, new religious movements officer, and interfaith officer. He is an active member of CANA (Christians Awakening to New Awareness) and PCN (Progressive Christianity Network).
