The Psychedelic Christian
A ministry at the crossroads of faith & entheogens
The Psychedelic Christian
Growing closer to Christ through the prayerful, careful use of the entheogens God has made.
At the age of fifteen, I had a powerful encounter with God through a rather unorthodox means — that of psychedelics. Thus began my walk with Christ in a personal way. Over the past three decades I have come to realize that I am far from alone in this experience, and to understand that with prayer, a solid community, and holy intention, one's faith can be deepened — and old wounds healed — with the aid of the psychedelic plants that God has created for our good.
That encounter set the course of a life: years of theological study in London and Texas, chaplaincy, teaching, and ordained ministry as a priest. The Psychedelic Christian is where those two threads — the ancient faith of the Church and the mystery of entheogenic experience — are held together with reverence, honesty, and care.
You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
