In the wake of the Second World War and the Holocaust, in a period where ordinary people were beset with doubts and the problem of God’s involvement with evil and suffering had become acute, many theologians grappled with new ways to think and talk about God, which generally resulted in the rejection of traditional understandings of God’s power and action.

In a four-week class on Wednesday nights, Senior Pastor Scott Jones will launch the first in a series of Formations for 2026, taught by our clergy.

Join us for a potluck meal at 5:30 p.m., then hear about and discuss the rich and wonderful explorations of God in contemporary theology. Future classes will discuss methods of Biblical interpretation, practical spiritual skills, and the way of discipleship.

This session: What insights on God were gained when the church began to listen to a broader array of voices and perspectives? On Wednesday, January 28, our Formations class, The God Revolution, will explore various liberation theologies that emerged in the late 20^th century, addressing poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, and more.
