Through a Glass Darkly, Christianity for the 21st century - Second Saturday - 6/14/25

Описание: ➡️ SIGN UP for our Email List: https://marcusjborg.org/email-signup

In this reflective finale of our Second Saturday series, we revisit a year of courageous conversations on faith, meaning, and mystery. From grappling with Christian nationalism to reclaiming poetic imagination in theology, this gathering invites you to embrace not certainty, but awe. Guided by voices like Jack Caputo, Robin Meyers, Mark Oakley, and others, we explore what Christianity might yet become when informed by trust, not dogma.

Join us as we look through a glass, darkly—and find more windows than walls.

➡️ SUBSCRIBE for more thought-provoking discussions on faith and spirituality!

About The Marcus J Borg Foundation:
Marcus J. Borg was an author of great import that explored historical and biblical topics and applied them to modern Christianity. To clarify some of his thoughts, here is a list of progressive Christian values.

Intellectual integrity and scholarship
• Elegance and clarity of thought
• Graciousness and humility
• Compassion and understanding
• Awe, wonder and gratitude for the privilege of our experience of life
• The art of asking the open-ended question
• Inquiry and conversation that engages both head and heart
• Theological education that is accessible and transformative

The work of Marcus J. Borg allows the foundation to explore and articulate a meaningful and faithful Christianity for the 21st century. Above all, the values Marcus brought to his work we want to bring to ours.
