The Importance of Open Theology

Holding onto the belief that one is always right limits theological growth and exploration. A static understanding of theology reduces the range of options available for discussion and collaboration on complex issues, particularly in faith and science. Embracing a more dynamic perspective involves temporarily setting aside firmly held beliefs to welcome new insights and ideas. This flexibility allows for richer dialogues that leverage the diverse tools of both faith and science.
