God After Deconstruction - Drew U

Center for Open and Relational Theology

Drew University

At this live event, Tripp Fuller and Thomas Jay Oord describe the realities and challenges of deconstruction.Many are walking away from church and/or God... for good reasons. The old ways of thinking make little sense. The hurt is real.This conference proposes better ways to think about God. Open and relational theology provides a sensible view, one that fits our moral intuitions and what's best in scripture.Fuller and Oord are joined by thought leaders Catherine Keller, John Thatamanil, Bruce Epperly, Alexis Lillie, and others to explore deconstruction and the open, relational, and process God. The event begins at 7 pm on Friday and concludes at 5 pm on Saturday, with an invitation to an informal meal thereafter.Drew students pay $29; Drew alumni pay $49. General admission is $99.This event is sponsored by the Center for Open and Relational Theology and Homebrewed Christianity and hosted by the theological school at Drew University. Joining these are podcast cosponsors Radical Love Live (Mark Dilcom and Kelly Wilson), Rethinking Faith (Josh Patterson), War Machine (Matt Baker and Justin Pearl), and The New Evangelicals (Tim Whitaker).SCHEDULE:Friday7:00 pm Doors Open7:30 “What is faith deconstruction and why are so many deconstructing?” – Tripp Fuller and Thomas Jay Oord (Chapel)8:45 “How does religious diversity influence deconstruction?” – Catherine Keller and John Thatamanil (Chapel)Saturday8:00 am Coffee8:30 “What is process theology?” – Bruce Epperly and Catherine Keller (Chapel)9:30 Break9:45 “Introducing Open and Relational Theology” – Thomas Jay Oord (Room 101)“Running with the Elephant” – Bruce Epperly (Room 109)10:45 Break11:00 “The Deconstructed Church” – Alexis Lillie (Room 101)“Podcasting &amp; Deconstruction” – Radical Love Live and Rethinking Faith (Room 109)Noon Lunch on your own in Madison (See eatery options)2:00 pm “God After Omnipotence” – Thomas Jay Oord (Room 101)“God After Exclusivism” – John Thatamanil (Room 109)3:00 Break3:15 “God After Deconstruction” – Tripp Fuller and Thomas Jay Oord (Chapel)4:15 “What now?” – Bruce Epperly, Catherine Keller, Alexis Lillie, and John Thatamanil5:30 No-host dinner and hangout – 54 Main Bar and Grill (54 Main Street, Madison, NJ “Exquisite Corpse” – War Machine and Others
