DESCRIPTIONS

Can we still be Christian in the quantum era? It is no secret that things are not going well for the Christian church these days. Despite great effort; despite trying to be trendy and tech-savvy, entrepreneurial and coffee-house gritty, nothing seems to be helping. Rethinking Our Story suggests that our problems run deeper than better strategies can fix. Our problem lies with our instincts - instincts informed by the way we have told the Christian story. There was a time when the Church was a powerfully transformative presence in society. It can be again, but it will require a vigorous rethinking of the story that informs our instincts. We live in a moment in history when the worldview we have held for five hundred years is being upturned by quantum physics. Rethinking Our Story revisits the basic elements of the Christian narrative, framing them in ways that work with our newly emerging sensibilities. The future of the church and the health of our society depend on our willingness to rethink, retell, and live out our story in this newly emerging world. We will either update our instincts and contribute to the earth's well-being - or disappear into oblivion.
