Abstract

As announced, Ante and Oliver debrief their experience teaching a one-week intensive course to ministry practitioners and other interested people. After sharing some practical insights and lessons learned, they veer into discussing the relationship of belief and culture, how culture might be helpfully defined as "engagement with reality," how, accordingly, we have culture wherever we have reality, how attunement to culture so defined might help us understand why some beliefs and practices become irrelevant to people, how that is exemplified, among other, in the way people relate to the "sanctuary doctrine," the way that could be rectified, and how a rethinking of the creation narrative and the image of the garden could be great help in that regard.
