Metanoia is Hitting the Road!

We’ve absolutely loved meeting so many people and hosting important kōrero here in Tāmaki Makaurau. But we understand that there’s more to life than Auckland … so we are hitting the road!

Over the next month, we will be hosting events in Wellington (co-hosted by our friends at SCM Aotearoa) and Christchurch.

Check out these awesome kaupapa below.

 
 
 
 

Metanoia events seek to be a place for open and honest discussion on difficult topics. As usual, we’ll hear from some fantastic guest speakers, discuss together, and voice questions that we often have but rarely get to ask.

It’s no secret that the Christian church has had its fair share of responsibility for abuse and complicity in widespread injustice. We want to face these questions head on, centred around three central values: critical thinking, open inquiry, and the accessibility of ideas. Learn more about our series here.

I don’t think Christianity can be saved. Should I still come?

Nau mai! Metanoia Conversations seek to be a place for open and honest discussion, something which can be hard to come by. We don’t intend to frame ‘doubts’ as steps along the way to be overcome by ‘faith.’ Asking the question ‘Can Christianity be saved?’ means leaving open the possibility that it, in fact, cannot.

I’m confused by the question … Should I still come?

That’s okay too! No requirements are necessary for participation. 

What should I look out for in the meantime?

In the lead up to our first gathering, we will be sharing reflections and posts right here on the website and be active once again over on Instagram and Facebook. Don’t be a stranger! Our DMs and comment sections are open for discussion, further ideas, or just a simple kia ora.

We need your help getting the word out. Taking our events on the road comes with so many exciting opportunities but also significant costs. Please share the information above far and wide. We want to make the most of our time together!

We can’t wait to connect with many more of you across the motu.
