Building on Fire: The Theory and Practice of Pyrotheology

In contrast to the typical understanding of Christianity as offering satisfaction and certainty these seminars aim to unearth a more radical and disturbing alternative. By employing a method he calls “pyrotheology” Peter will offer an approach that explores how the event testified to in the founding documents of Christianity invites us to take a different path. One in which we learn how to embrace the idea that we can’t be whole, that life is traumatic and that we don’t know the secret.

Decrying the popular view of God as a product that will render us complete, remove our suffering and reveal the answers, Peter will offer the blueprint for a faith that courageously embraces brokenness, resolutely faces up to unknowing and joyfully accepts the difficulties of existence. It is only by taking this journey, he will argue, that we can appreciate what it might mean to rob death of its sting and taste life in all its fulness.

Through these sessions Peter will not only offer the theoretical underpinning of this approach but also outline ways in which we can embody it in practice.

This is an in-depth, intensive, limited seating event. Tickets cost $49.95. To reserve a place click here.
