After Deconstruction: Decolonizing Christian Habits

  • Community of Reconciliation @ Bellefield Towers 100 North Bellefield Avenue Pittsburgh, PA, 15213 United States (map)

Join Brock Bahler with our friends at Commonwealth and Hot Metal Faith communities for a time of meaningful reflection.

Are you a Christian doing the hard work of questioning, doubting, and reformulating what you believe? If so, you’ve probably heard the shorthand description for this process: “deconstruction.” In this talk, Dr. Brock Bahler will explore deconstruction as a creative and innovative practice that is not only about what we think but also about what we do. It’s especially valuable as we reckon with racial injustice. Because many of our religious settings are tethered to white supremacy, they can shape our spiritual habits in harmful ways that are invisible to us. But Dr. Bahler will share how he unlearned some of those habits and how we can develop new practices that give life to faith!
