We’re Back! Uncommon Gathering – Sept 23rd
We’re pleased to announce the kick-off of an all NEW Uncommon Gathering!
If you’re like us, you’re ready for a cold drink, maybe a chicken wing or two, and a great theological conversation. If that’s the case, come join us Thursday, September 23rd for the kick-off of our new series, “An Introduction to Open and Relational Theology”.
In this new series, Johan will be joined by guest co-host Jonathan Foster as we read and discuss best selling author and theologian, Thomas Jay Oord’s book…
“Open and Relational Theology:
An Introduction to Life-Changing Ideas”
Is your theology filled with more questions than answers? Are you struggling to make sense of God in the midst of a global pandemic, loss, or world that seems to have gone crazy? Open and Relational Theology may have the answers you’re looking for.
– DESCRIPTION –
Most theologies suck.
They’re too technical or they describe a God nobody understands. Sometimes the God portrayed sounds like a controlling boyfriend or absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, most theology books clobber readers into submission.
This book is different.
Thomas Jay Oord presents a theology that makes sense. It fits the way we live our lives and matches our deepest intuitions. To the surprise of some, it harmonizes with sacred scripture… at least the good parts. And it promotes a genuinely loving God.
Open and relational theology is controversial.
Oord and others have lost their jobs because they embrace it. Others have been booted from religious communities or shunned by families and friends. It’s that radical! Using understandable language and illustrations from everyday life, Oord explains the core ideas of open and relational theology. He reveals why this way of thinking is life-changing – for good – for so many.
This theology doesn’t suck.
People around the world are turning to open and relational theology. It answers our biggest questions about good and evil, purpose and freedom, love and science.
Thomas Jay Oord
