Rev. Dr. Robin R. Meyers is a nationally known UCC pastor, professor, peace activist, and the author of eight books about progressive Christianity and American society. He is retired from the pulpit of Mayflower Congregational UCC church, Oklahoma City, where he served as senior minister for 35 years. The church is the subject of a feature-length documentary entitled "American Heretics: The Politics of the Gospel." https://www.americanhereticsthefilm.com/ He is also the Distinguished Professor of Social Justice Emeritus in the Philosophy Department at Oklahoma City University where he continues to teach. Dr. Meyers lectures and gives workshops on progressive Christianity and church renewal nationally and internationally (see RobinRexMeyers.com), is an award-winning commentator for NPR, and has delivered the Beecher Lectures at Yale. His teaching and preaching offer a non-literal, non-dogmantic approach to Christianity. His politics are neither left nor right, but rather subversive for the cause of love. He seeks to build, not a collection of "believers," but a Beloved Community devoted to embodying peace and justice in a broken world. As a professor, he teaches the ancient canons of rhetoric, urging his students to think critically and fearlessly about the things they think they know. His method is Socratic, grounded in the belief that the truth is accessible but often obscured, and that love is life's highest achievement. His books all revolve around questions of religion, ethics, and language--that is, around transcendence, morality, and the redemptive power of telling the truth. His latest book, "Saving God from Religion: A Minister's Search for Faith in a Skeptical Age" is now available from Penguin/Random House (Convergent).
