On America's Insurrection Day, a day which will live on in infamy, I would like to remember my friend Tom Oord who began several years ago a place for community and education around Open & Relational Theology(ORT).
I had come to this biblical perspective on my own early on when developing Relevancy22 not realising it was its own theology until I discovered it six months afterwards. Tom was one of my first contacts whom I have followed since his firing from a college he was teaching at. His fortitude through this harsh event endeared himself to me and I have felt like I've had a twin brother in arms as we forged through the fires of classical Calvinism and conservative evangelical theology far, far removed from the lands where God lives and breathes.
And so, from time to time, I like to direct reader's attentions to the Center for ORT, to use it, to participate with its members, and hopefully find therein, as I have, a rich and rewarding community where I might contemplate anew my spiritual life in God's love.
