What we’re about
This group is for anyone interested in reading, discussing, and understanding Christian theology and theological traditions. Whether you want a deeper understanding of particular doctrines (i.e. Trinity, atonement, creation, etc.) or to get to know Christian thinkers (i.e. Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Kierkegaard, Chesterton, Bonhoeffer, Kathryn Tanner, etc.), then come out, enjoy a pint, a glass, or mug and be ready to listen & share. (Or join us on Zoom.)
Standard Format: For these meetings, we wil have a short reading (10 pages or less) to be read in advance. The reading will give context and focus to our discussion and give us some common ground.
Book Study: For these meetings, we will read a chapter or two of the text. In the past, we have read G.K. Chesteron’s Orthodoxy, The Gospel of Mark, and others.
While in authentic convers-ation “conversion” of mind is always a possibility, this group is neither about proselytizing nor about promoting a particular theological tradition. So, all are welcome.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- TBD: Short Theological ReadingCentral Public Library, London, ON
Last week, we finished William Cavanaugh's The Myth of Religious Violence. A significant author to read as political violence seems sadly on the rise in the Western world. For the rest of September, we will read some shorter writings that can be read in a single meeting. So, if you are curious and want to come see what we are about, then now is a good time to drop by 2C at the Central Library @ 2pm on Saturdays.
In October, we will begin reading Spiritual Friendship by Aelred of Rievaulx. While we read aloud together, feel free to read in advance if it helps you process and understand the information and prepares you to engage in conversation.
The book links are Amazon Associate links and the commissions help me pay for the Meetup membership and support me in my efforts to encourage Christian theological education. Or if you want to support me, you can Buy Me a Book (or a Coffee).
