The ‘New Age Movement’ is used to describe the alternative spiritual subculture that exists in society, whose interest is in things such as meditation, channelling, reincarnation, crystals, psychic experience, holistic health, environmentalism, UFO fascination, earth mysteries, and crop circles. From this movement has sprung diverse literature on new forms of spirituality, music, holistic medicines, as well as crafts and healing practices.
Thus, the New Age Movement is an eclectic and diverse movement, which first appeared in contemporary Western culture late last century. Its practices and beliefs are commonly characterised as a form of ‘alternative’ spirituality.
Why should any of these things concern us?
New Age thought and practice has had a tremendous impact on our postmodern world – even influencing many professing Christians. Through its promotion of an ‘anything-goes’ spirituality, it has opened the door to deception and a host of spiritual dangers for those who embrace it.
Through his talk, Jeremy will “unmask” the dangers of the New Age Movement, to reveal how its teachings and practices are opposed to the Christian worldview. This in turn will equip us to discern its often subtle workings, and to expose some of the ways in which New Age thought has crept into the Church.
Topics covered, include:
Defining the New Age Movement
Major Teachings of the New Age Movement and a Christian Response
Energy Fields, New Age Medicine, and New Age Music
Spiritual Dangers Associated with the New Age Movement
A Warning for the Church!
