| Summary: | In this article John Caputo’s hermeneutics of the event is used to understand the theological meaning of a church renewal experiment in the Netherlands. The experiment consists of sermons and services by laypeople who have hardly any or no affinity with church. The project is described, the intention behind the project explained, and the sermons analysed. The outcome of what is communicated in the sermons, and what is happening in the liturgies, are interpreted as positive contributions of cultural informed voices to the church’s continuous learning process of understanding its calling in the light of God’s promise. |
