Robin Meyers Biography
Rev. Dr. Robin R. Meyers is a Mainline Protestant minister, peace activist, philosopher, and author whose work has contributed to the development of progressive Christianity in the United States. An ordained minister who served in the United Church of Christ for four decades, Meyers also held positions as a tenured professor of rhetoric and distinguished professor of social justice in the Philosophy Department at Oklahoma City University. He is the author of eight books, including the national bestseller "Saving Jesus from the Church." Meyers has been a columnist for Oklahoma Gazette, a commentator for National Public Radio, and a lecturer and preacher on behalf of progressive Christianity. He led Mayflower Congregational UCC Church of Oklahoma City for 35 years, during which it became the fastest-growing UCC church in the Kansas-Oklahoma conference.
Meyers's work spans theology, ethics, and social justice. His books include "With Ears to Hear: Preaching as Self-Persuasion," "Morning Sun on a White Piano: Simple Pleasures and the Sacramental Life," "The Virtue in the Vice: Finding Seven Lively Virtues in the Seven Deadly Sins," "Why the Christian Right is Wrong: A Minister's Manifesto for Taking Back Your Faith, Your Flag, and Your Future," "The Underground Church: Reclaiming the Subversive Way of Jesus," and "Spiritual Defiance: Building a Beloved Community of Resistance." His book "Saving God from Religion: A Minister's Search for Faith in a Skeptical Age" is published by Penguin Random House (Convergent). Meyers's publications address topics such as religion, ethics, language, transcendence, morality, and the role of truth in faith communities.
Meyers has served as a trustee of Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York and as a fellow of the Westar Institute. He has lectured nationally and internationally on progressive Christianity, including delivering the Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale and speaking at Gladstone's Library in North Wales. He has toured Australia and New Zealand as the Common Dreams Lecturer and has been a finalist for the pulpit of The Riverside Church. Meyers received the Angie Debo Civil Libertarian of the Year Award from the ACLU.
Meyers is the subject of the documentary "American Heretics: The Politics of the Gospel," which explores the impact of progressive ministry in the Bible Belt and examines challenges to fundamentalist Christian doctrine. He serves as the teaching pastor of First Congregational Church of Norman UCC in Norman, Oklahoma, continuing his work to promote a non-literal, non-dogmatic approach to Christianity focused on inclusion and social justice.
