We're changing the time.

We'll meet a bit earlier because it allows those working in White Plains to participate. We'll go until 8pm so that those who come later can do so.

Do you have a philosophy of life? What is the difference between a philosophy and a religion? Or Melanie will talk about her dissertation, which is all about sex in church.

RSVP. We will meet at the bar until five people show, then we can move to a table.

You've heard the phrase "I'm spiritual but not religious." We'll try to unpack that. What does it mean to be a spiritual person? And what about religious people is so objectionable? Or is it all about sex?

RSVP. We might meet at the bar until we get about six people or so.

First ever annual Pub Theology Pot Luck Picnic.

At Melanie's House. The Manse.

A place where it will be OK to talk about religion and faith. Praise it, bash it, consider it. Argue your case. Or not.

As usual, we might talk about politics also.

Please bring an interesting beer to share, and a dish you love to make.

Gawain will front money for great steaks and two cases of fabulous beer. Estimated cost: $15. Just put in the RSVP that you are bringing cash.

There will be some sausages and a salad for slackers.

Please RSVP. Pretty Please.

War, Violence and Torture:

Some argue that religion causes violence; others believe religion is the solution to violence. For hundreds of years, Christians did not fight wars; and yet, just war theory is grounded in Augustinian practice. And even now, there is a huge divide between those who think Christians can support torture (evangelicals) and oppose (mainline protestants).

Where do you stand? do you think religion causes violence? How so? How are human beings wired toward violence? And what should religious people say about torture?

At this meeting we will discuss other times (perhaps the second Sunday at 4:00pm?) or locations that are quieter.

Cheers!

When did you decide to leave or affirm your faith? How did you come to this conclusion? Do you feel that God has an active presence in your life outside of the church? Do you find yourself inventing a new religion?

At this meeting we will discuss other times (perhaps the second Sunday at 4:00pm?) or locations that are quieter.

Cheers!
