Conversation time stamps: 

Throughout the first conversation we are thinking towards the next month in The Portal with Rob Zahn and Kevin Crouse. Both Zahn and Crouse are long-term contributors to Peter Rollins’ Wake Festival, and active practitioners of Rollins’ pyrotheology and Church of Contradiction. Part of our investigation in The Portal will be speculating on the “Beyond of the Emerging Church” movement. This will be hosted in coordination with both Jim Palmer who will be presenting on de/reconstruction, and Brendan Graham Dempsey, who will be presenting on meta-God concepts. To find out more about the process as a whole, see:

In the second conversation, Helen Rollins and I discuss Death of God theology in the context of capitalism as the religion of the modern world. This conversation is preparing for both H. Rollins contributions to the upcoming Christian Atheism conference at Philosophy Portal (to be announced soon), as well as the Philosophy Portal at Wake events at Peter Rollins’ Wake Festival in late April, see:

In the third conversation, Timothée Brès, Pamela von Sabljar and I discuss our participation in the Genesis Experience event hosted at the Commons Hub Brussels in January. The Genesis Experience was an event focused on Reinventing Leadership for Generative Futures, bringing together entrepreneurs, thinkers, and facilitators for a two day collective exploration of our capacity to face the unknown, navigate complexity and embrace radical innovation and emergence.

Finally, in the fourth conversation, Rebecca Prentice and I reflect on the last month in The Portal with Chris Cutrone inspired by his latest book, Marxism and Politics. This past month focused on four different major themes, including the Russian Revolution of 1917, the nature of contradiction on the level of ontology/epistemology, capitalist society as structured by the contradiction of labour and capital, and finally, a reflection on Marxism and Politics for “today and tomorrow”.
