She encourages us to embrace our own origins and to share and listen to each other's stories so we can build a more inclusive and diverse future for the church. Each of our stories matters for the church to be truly whole. As Curtice shares what it means to experience her faith through the lens of her Indigenous heritage, she reveals that a vibrant spirituality has its origins in identity, belonging, and a sense of place.

The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto
Jane Roberts - 1984
This book is the story of my efforts to put Seth's material to work in daily life, Roberts writes, to free myself from many hampering cultural beliefs; and most of all, to encounter and understand the nature of impulses . . .What Roberts discovers in the process of this personal journey is her individual connection to the larger consciousness-God. The God of Jane, the God of Joe, the God of Lester, the God of Sarah . . . she writes, An appeal to that God would be an appeal to the portion of the universal creativity from which we personally emerge . . . It would stand for the otherwise inconceivable intersection between Being and our being . . . A new introduction by Susan M. Watkins, author of Conversations with Seth and Speaking of Jane Roberts, provides important biographical and historical information about Roberts and about the time period in which she was producing the Seth material.Jane Roberts (1929-1984) is considered one of the most important psychics of the twentieth century. From 1963 through 1984, Roberts channeled Seth, who described himself as an energy personality essence no longer focused in physical matter, while her husband, Robert Butts, took dictation. In addition to thirteen published books of her own, Roberts channeled nine books by Seth and a wealth of additional unpublished material all of which is housed at the Yale University Archives. Roberts's work has inspired many of the most important figures in the New Age movement and her work has been studied byscientists from all over the world.
