John A. Buehrens: A House for Hope. Liberal Theology and the Challenges of the 21st Century

We have countered the violence apocalyptic imagination with advocacy for a realized eschatology in which we try to be what we want to see, and in which we see the grace around us to realize that vision.

And we have countered images of God and humanity that sanction violence and oppression with a spirit of openness to a Reality that patiently supports and sustains the miracle of life.

Our theological house may be small, fragile, and seem in danger of being blown over in the storms and tumults of our time. But, at its best, it is a vital House for Hope, not only for ourselves, but for many who have never even heard our name. Let us dialogue about its future, that we might repair, rebuild, strengthen, expand, and fulfill the promise inherent in our heritage, hoping that we might yet be part of, and catalysts for, humanity’s saving remnant.
