Episode Details

Jordan talks with Joshua Cockayne about the social ontology of the church. They cover topics like what is social ontology/group theory? Why is it relevant for understanding the church? How should we think of the church in relation to social ontology? What are the costs and benefits of the various views? Do individual Christians have a responsibility to seek forgiveness and reconciliation on behalf of the church? Does the answer change if they aren’t a part of that church’s tradition, denomination, or heritage? And more.
