Abstract
The first task of this chapter is to detail the qualities of a theological position identified as “monorthodox,” articulating how it forms a worldview that is impositionally singular, rigid, and totalizing. This position is then critiqued and an alternative approach is developed as a corrective for it by means of an engagement with John Howard Yoder's work in missiology as well as in Amos Niven Wilder's articulation of theopoetics and religious imagination. This corrective position is termed a “Heraldic” theology, and is marked by gestures of invitation and space-making without an abandonment of truth claims. Such a theology recognizes that the expression of a transformational experience of the Divine will be necessarily multiplicitous and communally developed: it challenges proponents of a monorthodox worldview that demand acquiescence, without, in turn, denying the possibility of the perspective they maintain.
