Synopsis

When Jesus the Nazarene physically left this earth almost twenty centuries ago, he promised he would "remain" until the end of the age. Most have placed the end date of that age at around AD 2012-and it is fast approaching. As this era of the model called "church" comes to a close and evolves into the next, the questions raised with increasing frequency are, What will characterize the next era? What will the spiritual template look like? What new understandings will drive it forward?

Clifford Lane Mark has imagined the spiritual forces behind the next 2,000 years in Ecumensus. Larger than our current knowledge, unlimited by our existing beliefs, and unfettered by our tribal traditions, the Ecumensus posits the spiritual understandings required to thrive in new circumstances, succeed in ever-changing conditions, and propel ourselves forward with forethought and intent into an age with higher concentrations of people, knowledge, power, and passion.

Absorbing and full of hope, Ecumensus is a vision story that will lead us to the next understandings and show us the ultimate collective destiny of all human beings.
