Join us for a weekend retreat to explore the future of Christianity and how you can be part of its transformation.
The primary goal of this retreat is to inspire attendees to envision and actively contribute to a more vibrant, relevant, and spiritually alive Christianity for the future.
Bro. Don Bisson will delve into the complex landscape of modern Christianity and its current challenges and potential for renewal.
During this retreat he will be addressing:
• The rise of fundamentalism and its impact on religious expression
• The emergence of regressive theological trends
• The resurgence of medieval rituals in contemporary practice
• The concerning alignment of certain Christian factions with far-right ideologies and authoritarian figures.
Rather than viewing these issues as insurmountable obstacles, we will explore opportunities for growth and renewal within the Christian tradition, examining how these challenges can serve as catalysts for:
• Deepening spiritual maturity
• Cultivating a more nuanced and inclusive theology
• Embracing the transformative power of grace.
By engaging with these critical issues, participants will be empowered to play a role in shaping a faith tradition that remains true to its core values while adapting to the complexities of the modern world.
