\n\u201cI come to the CRC because the discipline of a weekly, regular ritual gives my life a sense of rhythm and regularity that is helpful for this low- structure guy. I come to the CRC because it\u2019s a safe space for honesty.<\/p>\n
Most contexts I am in have strong social pressures to lie, manipulate, and defend – the CRC has strong social pressures towards honesty and vulnerability. Its small size and the regularity of people that come every week fosters an intimacy that makes honesty less risky.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Christian Resurgence Circle is an experiment in small group religious practice. There are many types of small groups. There are house churches of a fundamentalist bent. There are spirit life groups of all sorts. There are come-when-you-like church-school classes. There are support groups and social issue groups. A CRC is none of the above. It is a nurture meeting for persons seeking to access their true humanity. It is a study group for people seeking a fresh grasp of Christian heritage and a fresh mode of life that maximizes our service to self, others, and this planet. A CRC is also a disciplined body.<\/p>\n![\"circle](\"https:\/\/realisticliving.org\/images\/circlegroup.jpg\")
