Events at METANOIA.
Events at Metanoia aim to be safe and accessible places to ask difficult questions.
Should Christianity be Saved?
In 2024, Metanoia hosted a series of events asking the question “Can Christianity be Saved?” Meant as a provocative entry point for raising the connection between Christianity and various contemporary issues, each of these dialogues profoundly highlighted the entanglement of Christianity with various injustices and forms of oppression. In our final event of this series, we consider these entanglements and ask if, in light of the damages caused, Christianity in its contemporary form should be saved. We hope that you will join us to discuss and wrestle together with this challenge.
Can Christianity Be Saved from Sexual Abuse?
A special on-the-road edition of our “Can Christianity be saved” series, we’ll be meeting to Christchurch to discuss sexual abuse. What beliefs and cultures allow sexual abuse to flourish in Christian communities? How do we confront our past and engage with the challenge of ensuring safety in churches?
Can Christianity Be Saved from Capitalism?
A special on-the-road edition of our "Can Christianity be saved" series, we’ll be meeting in Wellington to discuss capitalism. Did Christianity create capitalism? And will it ever come to an end? Co-hosted with our friends at SCM Aotearoa.
Can Christianity Be Saved from Megachurches?
The third in our “Can Christianity be saved series,” we’ll be discussing megachurches. In what ways are cultures of toxic leadership, burnout, and greed symptomatic not only of megachurches but western Christianity in general?
Can Christianity Be Saved from Sexual Abuse?
The second of our “Can Christianity be saved” series, we’ll be discussing sexual abuse in the church. What beliefs and cultures allow sexual abuse to flourish in Christian communities? How do we confront our past and engage with the challenge of ensuring safety in churches?
Can Christianity Be Saved From Zionism?
The first of our “Can Christianity be saved” series, we’ll be discussing Christian Zionism. What is it, where did it come from, and how is it related to the ongoing conflict and genocide in Gaza?
