The Christ-Addled Cosmos: Christianity and Astrology with Nate Craddock
Saturday January 16th, 2021
12pm–2pm Eastern
Register for free below!
About this workshop
People called Christians have been practicing, and cancelling, astrology since the very beginnings of the Jesus movement. While the project of “reconciling Christianity and Astrology” into a coherent whole may be a fool’s errand, the discerning seeker can still find common ground between these two ancient ways of engaging with reality. This talk explores the theological categories of logos, kairos, and telos as a node of resonance between the two traditions. We'll also reflect on the implications of a chart from February of 33 CE as a "birth chart" for the Jesus movement—a faith of exile and fall.
