Join us for a remix this week of Trinity Tasting! We got the conversation started last week and will be discussing again this week, with some added notes and as always - delicious beer.

Couldn't join last week? No problem, we will have notes to catch you up.

This week, we will kick back with our beers, and have a sip of trinitarian thought in Christianity and beyond! Join us at The Table Public house - with one of the finest tap lists in the entire city - to grab a beer and dive into trinity.

For a couple thousand years now, theologians in Christianity have tried to teach about the trinity (\*\*\*head scratch\*\*\*) and it's extremely difficult to agree on, describe, and understand. We might not solve everything over a couple beers on Thursday but dang it, we are going to dive in head first!

The topic of the Trinity was (and still is!) debated far and wide in Christian circles. Theologians such as Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus (The Cappadocian Fathers), Athanasius, Clement, Augustine, Ignatius, and author of the Didache all contributed to the discussion about the Trinity. Here, Gregory of Nazianzus reflects on the Trinity:

"No sooner do I conceive of the One than I am illumined by the splendour of the Three; no sooner do I distinguish Three than I am carried back into the One. When I think of any of the Three, I think of Him as the Whole, and my eyes are filled, and the greater part of what I am thinking escapes me. I cannot grasp the greatness of that One so as to attribute a greater greatness to the rest. When I contemplate the Three together, I see but one torch, and cannot divide or measure out the undivided light."

The Trinity is a complex topic about the Christian Godhead. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit make up this three-in-one being. As you can see, just from that sentence, the complexity shows itself quickly. What does it mean to be three-in-one? How does three-in-one work? How does it impact our understanding of God? Defining this concept became a critical part of the work of the early church as they were trying to understand more clearly what it meant for Jesus to be the Son of God and what it meant in terms of the atoning (at-one-ment) work of Christ on the cross.
(Defining Trinity is also where we get the idea of heresy. There are many trinitarian heresies - some you would recognize today).

Let's get heretical - join us for lively and fun discussion!
