RECONSTRUCTION THEOLOGY
Facilitators: Pete Enns and Jared Byas
Deconstruction has become a vital and energizing topic for Christians to describe their spiritual journey out of their inherited faith traditions that have become a burden to them. Using Richard Rohr’s language of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation, Pete Enns and Jared Byas, hosts of The Bible for Normal People podcast, will facilitate discussions around these three terms. Through collaboration, respect, and vulnerability, their hope is for the collective wisdom and experience of the group to support us all as we walk the path of faith toward renewed communion with God.
