Publisher: Coventry Press

Dancing with Dandelions suggests that all religious traditions need to appreciate that the primary sacred community is the universe itself. This is in contrast to traditional understanding of Christianity which is based on supernatural rather than natural sources for our understanding of the purpose of life and the nature of society and church.

Rex A.E. Hunt

  • When Progressives Gather Together:  Liturgy,  Lectionary, Landscape… And Other Explorations

    Northcode: Morning Star Publishing, 2016

    In this eagerly awaited collection of reflective chapters and liturgical resources, Rex A. E. Hunt offers broad insights into the shaping of progressive liturgy and worship. Drawing on more than forty years of ordained ministry, he peels back some of the traditions behind Liturgy, Holy Communion, Baptism, the Lord’s Prayer, and Preaching, and suggests when these are, and continue to be, reshaped and reconstructed by both progressive theology and critical biblical studies. Then he offers a wide collection of actual liturgies and liturgical resources. Progressive orthopraxy rather than traditional orthodoxy!

  • Seasons and Self: Discourses on Being ‘at home’ in Nature

    Publisher: Coventry Press, 2018

    This second collection of Sermons, Address, and Presentations by Australian progressive, Rex A. E. Hunt, explores religious naturalism - sometimes called the ‘forgotten alternative’ - as well as contemporary biblical studies. While both science and progressive religion are to the fore in the topics and chapters, there is also a strong hint of the poetic - all evoking a sense of awe and wonder at nature and the natural. Also contains 11 original poems by Australian poet, John Cranmer.

  • Why Weren't We Told? A Handbook on 'progressive' Christianity

    Available as an e-Book.

    Progressive Christianity is not new. It has been around for two hundred years or more. But the anger and disappointment of those who have encountered it only recently is palpable. “Why weren’t we told?”

    This international collection of cameos and short articles on the themes and issues addressed by progressive Christianity is a response to the cry.

    Foreward by Rev Professor Sir Lloyd Geering, ONZ
