Dimensions of Faith

“You are about to read an absurd and ridiculous book.” So begins Brian D. McLaren’s spiritual autobiography, A Generous Orthodoxy: Why I am a missional + evangelical + post/protestant + liberal/conservative + mystical/poetic + biblical + charismatic/contemplative + fundamentalist/calvinist + anabaptist/anglican + methodist + catholic + green + incarnational + depressed-yet-hopeful + emergent + unfinished Christian.

McLaren’s humor and insight have made him one of the country’s most innovative and influential Christian leaders, thinkers, and activists—as well as one of its most provocative. Named one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America” in 2005, McLaren’s books include A New Kind of Christian; The Story We Find Ourselves In; The Last Word and the Word After That; Adventures in Missing the Point; Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crisis, and a Revolution of Hope, as well as Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices, and his latest, A New Kind of Christianity. He serves as a board chair for Sojourners/Call to Renewal (sojo.net), and is a founding member of Red Letter Christians, a group of communicators seeking to broaden and deepen the dialogue about faith and public life. His thinking ranges from ancient practices to a new way of believing.

Brian McLaren will be preaching and speaking at St. Matthew’s on May 23 as part of the Dimensions of Faith series, and our ongoing mission to challenge our thinking and renew our spirits. Stay tuned for more information.
