A Wild, New, Big and Broader Bible
The Wild, New, Big and Broader Bible takes on the raw and ready way the Bible digs deep, rips open new territory, and makes real big new churches for us to live in. It will have us singing, poetically opening our hearts, and throwing ourselves into wild hope.
Highlights include:
- Hal Taussig and Su Yon Pak on ancient divine Feminine the second century text, “The Thunder: Perfect Mind,”
- Chebon Kernell working with us to see how Native practice often outshines the Bible in honoring and connecting us the land and the earth,
- Hal Taussig with an overview on the on ten New Books of a New Testament,
- Victoria Loorz, Valerie Serrels, and other Wild Church leaders helping restore sacred relationships by connecting with the natural world,
- Su Yon Pak more around The Thunder: Perfect Mind with “Daughters Reflecting on Care, Loss, and Meaning.
The Wild, New, Big and Broader Bible is an engaging, encouraging, stimulating, experiential pre-festival day together at Wild Goose.
