About us
Coffee and Conversations is an intellectual discussion group. We discuss a variety of topics that are cultural, philosophical, metaphysical, and theological in nature.
One aim we have is to provide a space for deeper discussions with each other, on topics we may not normally get to have on a regular basis, and to offer opportunities to enjoy conversation and build new friendships.
Another aim we have is to engage with topics in order to better understand the truth about them and about reality. This second aim I would argue makes our discussion group different from others. I (Israel) hope our members will use this time to consider the truth about the topics we consider together. Now this second aim is clearly shaped by a Christian worldview. As a Christian, I believe truth is important and ought to be sought after, and I hope that each of you will seek after it in our time together. Thus, the purpose of coffee and conversations is not to form a group that merely promotes an all-encompassing inclusivism or one that simply affirms everyone’s views on a topic or perspective on reality. Rather, we hope that each person will come to coffee and conversations and learn a new way of viewing a topic, meet new friends, and ultimately seek to discover what might be the truth about a topic and reality. I realize that this may not make this group for everyone, but it seems that it certainly does appeal to many (a vast majority of those who attend very well might not be Christians).
We have only 3 rules: RESPECT, LISTEN, LEARN.
This group is facilitated and led by Israel and is sponsored by Immanuel Christian Reformed Church.
