Members of the Foundation for Contemporary Theology believe that it is a religious duty to think and to think hard, to not discard ancients' understandings but to seek new truths to incorporate into the religious enterprise, and to find ways to counter the literalism, the dogmatism, and the exclusivism that is so prevalent in churches today.

Unlike the bishop, we face forward—moving forward in the daunting task of articulating a theology that speaks to the religious sensibilities of people living in the twenty-first century.



FOUNDER'S VISION: To present the most compelling theological issues of our time and to promote in-depth reflection by the largest possible audience.

EDUCATIONAL VISION: To pursue the continuous renewal of Christianity through contemporary theology in a manner that honors and creates a hopeful future for all life.

PROMOTIONAL VISION: To promote contemporary theology to both traditional and non-traditional populations with multiple methods and techniques.

SOCIAL VISION: To be a source of theological education on social issues through information dissemination and networking.

OPENNESS VISION: To pursue a theology that honestly admits our present limited capacity to deal with the mystery of human existence in any final way, but honors the best efforts of all the theologies of the world’s great religions.
