It will be offered weekly on Tuesdays from 12:15-12:45 via Zoom. **If you would like to participate, please send a message via Meet-Up with your email address; we will then send you the Zoom link.**

We live in a very exciting time, where as believing Christians we can "step up" from simply participating in Community Worship to being "hands on" disciples, Servants, helping to spread the Good News, and use our God-given gifts and talents to extend the Kingdom. If you feel called to Ministry, or if you're a Minister who would like to take things further in your growth this would be an excellent group to consider being a part of. The focus is Christ-centered, Biblically-based and incorporates teachings from an Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant/Reformation perspective. There is a interview process to join the group. Please contact Bishop Lisa the group moderator for more information. Each week we will explore a new topic in regards to Christian Ministry. Please come with your Bible (or Bible software) and dress comfortably. We'll be discussing, praying, reading together. If you're new please contact us to go through a brief interview.

Come join us for a grand discussion on the failure of the arguments for god. Let’s spend a Saturday afternoon for some in depth conversations regarding counter apologetics, philosophy, science, and the bible. Let’s shine a light on the epistemological dishonesty lurking within fundamentalist apologia and tactics while examining methods of effective communication. Bring your knowledge and experiences, bring your favorite books, podcasts, videos and websites. Come to teach, come to learn or just come to listen and let’s write the last chapter on god. 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ATHEISM vs CREATIONISM in a nutshell \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- “In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.” \~ vs. "In the beginning"... there was a quantum event which, in a microsecond, erupted into a Quark-Gluon plasma, creating the first matter of our universe. As this plasma expanded it coalesced into hadrons and protons then the forces of nature began to separate and atoms were formed into great clouds of hydrogen and helium that began to condense and rotate under their own gravity. Theses clouds became the first generation of stars and under the sheer magnitude of their masses, these giants erupted into supernovas creating new generations of clouds of heavier elements which again coalesced under gravity and... "created the heavens and the earth". Saying god did it is so uninspired, so bland and vacant. The majesty and awe of the knowledge and understanding we have of this universe, has emerged, not from the bible, not from god, but from the genius of humanity. In the very last moments of the 4 and a half billion year history of earth, humans have evolved... “ and for the last several 100,000 years, we have looked up into that night sky and wondered at those awesome points of light, what are they, where did they come from... We are the first people in that long history not to wonder... not to guess... but to know...

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
