Subverting the Norm II: Can Postmodern Theology Live in the Churches?
SUBVERTING THE NORM is a two-day event that brings together pastors, theologians, philosophers, church practitioners, and researchers in religion to explore the relationship between postmodern theologies and the church. Some of the questions we'll consider include:

Can the actually existing churches speak meaningfully and persuasively to those who aren't so sure about the supernatural or the magical or the metaphysical, which includes the fastest growing religious demographic in North America, the "nones," those with no formal religious affiliation?

Can the church retain a viable role in a world where God is often viewed as a relic of the past, or as a grand Santa Claus in the sky, or perhaps even as a narcotic or neurosis that we'd do well to get rid of?

And if the churches are to be faithful to the revolutionary event that gave birth to Christianity, or if they are to recover their theological voice in a compelling and transformative way, is it possible to do so by listening to voices on the margins of the church, or outside of the church, including even those who might "rightly pass for atheists?" And perhaps more to the point, why are voices on the fringes of the church, or outside of the church, becoming more influential on church leaders and practitioners than the traditionally "orthodox" voices inside the churches?

With tracks on ministry, liturgy, worship, preaching, community organizing, art and much more, all who are interested in the future of the church won't want to miss it.
