HOW I STAY CHRISTIAN

"Many people will leave Christian affiliation in the years ahead," says Brian McLaren, "joining over 75 million who have already done so. But many will also stay." He explores reasons for both leaving and staying in his new book, Do I Stay Christian?, and in his 2022 return to Companions, he will share his personal struggles and breakthroughs in understanding and inhabiting Christian identity, focusing on the theme of "a new humanity" articulated by both Jesus and Paul, and embodied in pioneers like Hildegarde of Bingen, Sts. Francis and Clare, and a wide array of contemporary leaders.

Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good.
