Resources for deconstruction
A friend sent me info on the site leaving fundamentalism
which has some good resources for those who have been de-churched because of a fundamentalist use of power or extremely narrow theology. Moot's ministry of hospitality and renewal also aims to support those who want to explore dangerous questions to move on in their faith. Unforunately it is a bit of a sign of the times to have to have such sites, as there is an increased interest by some in more of a 'black and white' simplisitic theology as an over-compensation for the complexity of modern life.

Here is some of their blurb:
LeavingFundamentalism.org is a resource for people making the difficult and often painful journey away from conservative Christianity. It can be a time of confusion, hurt and frustration, but it's important to know that you are not making the journey alone. Thousands of others have been right where you are today.
While the author remains a Christian, it is the aim of the site to offer support and encouragement to anyone trying to find a way out of fundamentalism, whether they choose to remain within a Christian tradition or leave Christianity altogether
