🚫 Dogma, Shame, Guilt
Hi. I'm Rabbi Brian.
Call me rB.
I stopped working for organized religion after I fantasized about God asking humanity, “So, why did you all make teams?” I started Religion-Outside-The-Box with a blog in 2006, and we’ve grown to a prison ministry, support groups, zoom services, an award-winning book, online meditation, and a sort of weekly newsletter.
Spiritualigious? I made up the word as the words spiritual + religious have baggage associated with them.and I wanted us to keep our eyes on the goal.
Look around. Enjoy.

SATURDAY
SERVICES
I struggled, after leaving my pulpit job, to find a spiritual or religious community in which I felt comfortable — one free from dogma, creed, and particularism. So, I made ROTB’s Online Saturday Service—8am PT Saturday.
It’s not sage on a stage. It’s more like a wisdom-seeking, Zoom, 12-step meeting in which I facilitate discussion between people of all backgrounds and from all over the globe.
I hope reading these words make you feel like you are invited. I’d love to have you join in — or watch from here.

I thank you for looking at this site.
