Ryan Cagle Ryan is an eclectic Christian, Youth Minister, and Curator of Exile Liturgy who believes the road to the Christian future runs though the ancient Christian past. There is more than enough room at the table of Jesus. Room enough for our differences of opinion, theology, dogma, doctrine, and denomination. This course is built on the backbone of ecumenism and the idea that what we have in common is of far greater importance than anything we disagree on. We need our differences - Orthodox mystery, Catholic beauty, Anglican liturgy, Protestant audacity, Evangelical energy, Charismatic reality and everything in between - if we ever hope to truly see a world liberated by the love of God.
