Special Event | Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies
Are you feeling burned out, bored, or disillusioned with your faith or ministry? Do you long for a revitalized spirituality that speaks to both your heart and your head?
Join us for this special event to hear from contributing authors to the new book from Process & Faith, Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. This unique book emerged from a conference P&F hosted in January of 2025 where we explored such themes as:
- Renewing Faith – Can faith become life-giving again?
- Renewing God – What if God is deeply relational and always present?
- Renewing Jesus – How is Jesus still saving us today?
- Renewing Message – Can ancient texts still inspire transformation?
- Renewing Worship – What remains sacred and nourishing in our rituals?
- Renewing Spirit – How do practices of the Spirit bring healing and wholeness?
- Renewing Community – What does a renewing church or ministry look like?
Renewing Faith is a bold and hopeful invitation to reimagine Christianity through the transformative lenses of process and open & relational theologies. Drawing on the rich insights of contemporary theology, science, and philosophy, this book brings together voices of pastors, theologians, spiritual directors, chaplains, and seekers who are rediscovering the vitality and purpose of a living faith.
Whether you identify as a progressive mainliner, contemplative soul, post-evangelical questioner, or spiritual-but-not-religious wanderer, you’ll find fresh pathways to reawaken your passion and deepen your connection to the Divine.
Sheri Kling, editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies, will facilitate the discussion. Come and learn about this collection of essays of spiritual possibility—designed to equip and inspire Christian leaders, seekers, and communities to become not just renewed, but renewing forces in a world that is crying out for wholeness and hope.
Be part of a movement that is reimagining what it means to believe, to lead, and to love. The world needs your renewed faith.
Faith is renewed when we open our hearts and minds to the living Reality we call God and allow that Mystery to show us the truth, even if that requires us to abandon inherited dogmas as new symbols emerge.
