Transforming Theology Initiative (March 2009)
The Ford Foundation is helping to fund Transforming Theology, a program led by CPS Co-Directors Philip Clayton and Marjorie Suchocki that aims to rekindle theological imagination and to support progressive theologies transform churches and society. In partnership with theologians, denominational leaders, and seminary presidents, Transforming Theology is working to break down the walls between academic theology and the church, putting theology back in the hands of pastors and laypersons.

The first meeting was held March 13-14, 2009, and brought together leading progressive theologians from across the country to offer constructive suggestions for how theology can transform the church and contribute to progressive social transformation of society. The next meeting, "Visions for the Future," is a made-for-media public event and will be held on May 28, 2009, at 7:00 pm in the Mudd Theater, Claremont School of Theology. We invite you to attend and listen. Visit transformingtheology.org for more details.
