Reconstructionist

In Christian Reconstructionist postmillennialism, the “dominion mandate” is thwarted by the Fall but restored with the Resurrection.

Cam Cope, a crash reconstructionist based in Texas, testified to that end Friday.

He forged important academic and intellectual alliances across the Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist branches of Judaism, becoming something of “a denominational crossover,” said his friend Menachem Butler, an Orthodox Jew and a fellow in Jewish legal studies at Harvard Law School.

The side I can pick is humanity, the side I can pick is life,” said Rabbi David Basior of the Kadima Reconstructionist Community, who helped draft the statement.

As the mosaic of educated guesses slowly takes on a human guise, the reconstructionist moves from recreation to interpretation—using what is known about the individual to shape their eyes, mouths, and skin.
