I'll show you something guys about diversity I found on youtube one day..
This catholic father called Bede Griffiths had a ministry in India. He really embraced a lot of way out there thinking for a guy of of the catholic church, or many christian churches I think. He looked at the bare basics of the christian faith in a new way I had never encountered.
One of his videos show how a christian could have a mantra while meditating and how many monks in early christian times went out into the desert to meditate and pray.
Its really cool give it a go.
