This church doesn’t appear to have a web site, but I found a couple of “reviews” at another web site called “Yelp”:


Often called Seattle’s best-kept secret church; downtown, progressive, interfaith, New Thought spirituality. The ministry is now headed by Karen Lindvig, who’s simply wonderful: deep, affecting messages, warm and funny. The place is big enough to offer top notch services (music, speakers, teachers) but not so big as to feel corporate or slick. Very welcoming and respectful of the personal journey as well as social justice and outreach issues.

And:

This is a beautiful new-age church, Christian and open-minded. Books they have led workshops on: Four Agreements, Power of Now, Course in Miracles, Life of Water, New Earth, and much more.

I really like that the main minister, Richard Levy, is joined by a woman, his co-minister Karen Lindvig. Expect musical guests (like Gina Sala, Rafe Pearlman, and others), mediation, readings from the Bible and “new-thought” sermon, more music, children intro, and ending with the Peace Song.

Only drawback is Richard’s wife, Maureen, who is described by people at the church as a “bulldog”, it’s her way or the highway. But that shouldn’t effect the layperson too much.

It’s a great church, check it out! Services 9 and 11am. Chaplains available to talk, children care, and more.


It sounds pretty new-agey. Now I wonder if the perp wasn’t a parishioner who was off his meds or on an especially high high?

Messages or MASSAGES...

The mention of the Course in Miracles makes it very clear how new agey this place is. Calling it “Christian and open minded” is half right.

If I had to try and translate, It sounds like one of those churches that picks and chooses the parts of God's word that give folks a warm fuzzy feeling and chucks the rest.

Gee, and here I thought it was one of those Norm Rockwell type of churches.
