Our Views

Oprah an inspiration leader

A guru of sorts, though an expert on nothing in particular (she is not a doctor, decorator, economic advisor or psychologist), when Oprah speaks, people listen.

Oprah’s Christian ministry

I don’t have a problem in saying there was a “church of Oprah.” She moved many a mountain in the lives of women with her programs, and that’s a good thing.

If not Oprah, who are modern-day religious leaders?

Oprah is a Dharma Seer

Oprah’s is not a new message, a new commandment or new god, but rather a message heard over eons of time, reverberating from the Himalayas where ascetics passed on wisdom for the ages in an oral tradition continuing today.

Oprah Winfrey and the feminine divine

Oprah Winfrey is a conduit for the qualities and the work of the Feminine Divine because her work embodies the qualities of God the Mother.

Closing the First Church of Oprah

There is no question that Oprah created a kind of religion over the past 25 years.

Oprah: following in the sacred footsteps of Elvis?

Oprah certainly qualifies as a “religious leader” within the definition of new religious movements.

Oprah skeptics

I wish Oprah would tell her audience to be skeptical about taking the advice of untrained professionals—including herself.

Oprah: High priestess of the New Age

Oprah seems to be at home within the New Age movement in the United States.

We are all ‘religious leaders’

Each of us has access to a G-d who reveals truth to us constantly, and we can choose to be channels of that light and love.  Each of us can “let our lives preach.”

Everyone loves Oprah

Especially in her show’s later years, Oprah wanted to feed our souls.
