David Galston
The Historical Jesus, the Postmodern, and the Church

Critics charge that the Jesus Seminar has re-created Jesus to fit the postmodern culture. This criticism is highly misleading.  Postmodernity is not an historical period but a way to interpret history.  It provides a means of understanding culture as a fact of human life.  We can use postmodern hermeneutics to understand the time of Jesus and connections to our own.  This will have some impact on what we mean by "church" and how we may debate and define its future.

Paul Alan Laughlin
Getting Oriented to Enlighten the Christian Faith

Using his trademark humor and colorful projected images, Paul Laughlin will show how a positive step toward an emerging progressive Christianity is to engage the great Eastern spiritual traditions.  He will make a case for the promise of the mystical strains of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism in producing a new, enlightened version of the Christian faith, with special attention to the transformation of such key doctrinal components as God, human nature, Jesus Christ, and the Bible.

Nigel Leaves
The God Problem
Options for making sense of Christianity

Is the term God a noun or a verb? To what does it refer? Nigel Leaves will address these and other God-questions, and look down the road ahead, by exploring theological options that have helped others make sense of Christianity. 1) God is dead: Nietzsche; 2) God is a verb: Wittgenstein, Cupitt, and Geering; 3) the reformation of Christianity: Tillich, Spong, and Hick; and 4) the shift from organized religion to grassroots spirituality.

Jerry Stinson
True to the Legacy of the Historical Jesus

Is it possible to build a meaningful faith community around the legacy of the historical Jesus? Reflecting on his experience in local congregations, including two open and affirming, justice-seeking churches, Jerry Stinson will look at concrete examples of his successes and failures. He will highlight six characteristics of a progressive faith community and ask whether it is possible for mainline Protestant churches to organize themselves around those characteristics.
