Next SP, Aug 6: "Faith Deconstruction in Canada," with Angela Bick

Details: “Faith Deconstruction in Canada,” with Angela Bick, Aug 6, 7pm, Port 393, Holland, MI

“Canadian Christians frustrated with the Church have come ‘Undone’ and are leaving politely, almost apologetically, in what this book dubs a Quiet Deconstruction. Blessed are the Undone asks: what aspects of faith are being questioned, and why?

This book neither condemns nor condones the trend of those deconstructing their faith. It seeks to describe and document the Canadian ‘deconstructing faith’ scene while also providing a theological and sociological frame through which to understand it.”

I’m excited to talk with Angela about her work on deconstruction. I am skeptical of Christianity’s ability to change; Angela is more hopeful. It should make for a fruitful conversation. I may ask her to respond to this video from Britt Hartley, who will be our guest on October 1.

On another note, I will be writing more after August 6. I’ve been focusing my efforts on TikTok for the last few months. It’s been fun and rewarding. Here are two TikToks I made featuring Mayor Mamdani, both of which have been pretty popular.
