For our first gathering in this year’s series – set for Monday May 14 – we’ll be talking about an interview with the writer Lauren Winner, called Most of our spiritual life is not spent in ecstasy. Even if you can’t join us, this article might be worth a look…
Every year as we move toward the May long weekend, many of our events and regular activities move into summer break mode. This is actually the very point at which we launch Theology by the Glass, a series of monthly gatherings that run from May through September.
We’ve now got our dates set for this year: Monday May 14, Tuesday June 19, Monday July 16, Tuesday August 14, and Monday September 24. We’ve decided to alternate between Mondays and Tuesdays, so that anyone with a regular commitment on one or the other night will be able to attend at least some of the time.
For the past several years we’ve been meeting at the Confusion Corner Bar and Grill, located at the intersection of Pembina and Corydon Avenue. Confusion Corner manages to set aside good space for us, and quite happily serve food or a drink or coffee or any combination of the above. Because we gather in the restaurant area, it is quite fine for people under the age of 18 join in.
These evenings are about the most relaxed approach to Christian education imaginable. Basically, a couple of weeks before each gathering an article or a podcast is made available on our website, which becomes grist for our conversational mill. People gather at the restaurant for 8:00pm, and we stay relatively focused on our topic for about an hour, at which point we begin to chase all sorts of conversational tangents until everyone is ready to leave.
To confirm the dates and to access the article or podcast, please check the calendar.
