An Event for PEC members from across the Northeast in NYC
Saturday, Oct 3: 9:30 AM to 3:30PM

About the Gathering
Join us for a day of connection with folks from the Post-Evangelical Collective! Whether you are new to the PEC or have been engaged for years, we look forward to a day together in New York City.
Our time will center on relationship-building and spiritual exploration as we seek to collectively (re)imagine the future of life-giving, Jesus-centered spirituality. As individuals, as members of local communities, and as contributors to a broader movement, we will consider questions like: Who are we? What are we for? And what are we building?
We will have the opportunity to hear and respond to a talk from prominent Christian ethicist and PEC Wisdom Board member, Dr. David P. Gushee, who will share his perspective on the future of the post-evangelical movement; eat a delicious lunch together from Sahara’s Turkish Cuisine; and have lots of opportunities to get to know one another and connect over shared interests and questions.
It’s going to be a great day, and we can’t wait to spend it with you!

Featured Speaker
Dr. David P. Gushee is a leading Christian ethicist whose personal and academic transition away from traditional evangelicalism has made him a prominent voice in post-evangelical theology. As a Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University and a former Southern Baptist, his paradigm shifted significantly following his 2014 publication Changing Our Mind, where he announced his full theological support for LGBTQ+ inclusion. This pivotal moment led to his estrangement from traditional evangelical structures and inspired his landmark 2020 book, After Evangelicalism: The Path to a New Christianity. In his post-evangelical work, Dr. Gushee provides a theological roadmap for Christians who have left the evangelical subculture due to its political alignments and exclusionary doctrines, offering instead a reconstructed faith focused on a Jesus-centered ethic, human rights, and the defense of democracy.
