| Does this sound like an oxymoron? With the dominance of the Christian Right in our time, many have given up completely on the idea that the church can be a positive force for progressive change and social justice. Dr. Robin Meyers refuses to give up, and will discuss his vision of Christianity as a force for positive social change--not fear, division, and dogmatism. The author of WHY THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT IS WRONG: A Minister’s Manifesto for Taking Back Your Faith, Your Flag, Your Future , Dr. Meyers will share his insights on the lost message of Jesus: It’s about enlightenment, not salvation! It’s about a new way of being in the world, not about dubious metaphysics, or outdated cosmologies, or biblical literalism. It’s about the real object of faith itself: the acceptance of unconditional love, and the end of striving. Participants will learn how the gospel itself has been hijacked, and how to take it back. |
