Peter Hodgson, in his recent book, Liberal Theology: A Radical Vision,
says that “Emancipation from the various forms of evil
inflicted by human beings on themselves and nature
happens when persons become engaged in the coming of God’s kingdom
– a metaphor that is appropriately translated in today’s context as
God’s “Freedom Project,”
meaning the process and place wherein God’s freedom –
the freedom of love, forgiveness, and grace – prevails
in place of the normal arrangements of domination, retribution, and exchange.”

Our workshop will explore the character of this Freedom Project,
and of our place in it as pastors, teachers, and leaders of the church.


Please join Rev. John Thomas at the retreat before this year's Annual Meeting

If you are intrigued by this definition of our place in the future?

How can we understand God's "Freedom Project"?

How can we help this "Project" prevail?
