Original Webinar Date: Friday, November 28, 2025, 11:00AM (MST)

Webinar Description: Join Angela Reitsma Bick, Editor of Christian Courier Magazine, for an interactive 45-minute webinar – 20-minute research presentation, 10-minute Q/A, & 15-minute guided conversation with a church leader respondent (optional 15-minutes after for networking) – about her recently released book Blessed are the Undone: Testimonies of the Quiet Deconstruction of Faith in Canada. Canadian Christians frustrated with the Church have come ‘Undone’ and are leaving politely, almost apologetically, in what has been dubbed a “Quiet Deconstruction.” Faith that allows room for doubt, pastors who admit their mistakes, and liturgy with a built-in time for reconciliation – these are just a few of the ways that Canadian churches normalize healthy faith deconstruction. What would it look like if churches were a place where “small deconstructions” happened regularly, in community, alongside ongoing reconstruction?
