Dr Oord, who will shortly stand trial within his denomination for openly affirming LGBTQ+ people, is a philosophical theologian and the author of a variety of popular books including 'The Uncontrolling Love of God' and 'God After Deconstruction'. He advocates an 'open and relational' approach to Christianity which says that the God who is love experiences what we experience, feels our pain and sadness, and is not able to control our actions. He promotes a hopeful and hope-filled vision of Christianity that doesn't rely on the traditional toxic traits of a violent and domineering deity.
Expect answers for your questions, and questions for your answers in these exciting events, as together we explore Christianity beyond deconstruction.
