When we think about theology, we often imagine solemn truths, weighty doctrines, or cosmic struggles between good and evil. But across the world’s religions, there’s also a quieter—sometimes louder—thread: the idea that at the heart of existence is play, joy, and creativity.

In Hinduism, this shines through in the concept of līlā—the “divine play” in which the gods create, destroy, and love not out of necessity, but sheer delight. The world itself is not a grim task but a dance, a story, a game.

And Hinduism isn’t alone: Jewish rabbis “play” with scripture through midrash, Sufis whirl and sing in ecstatic celebration, Buddhists describe reality as the playful dance of emptiness, and Christian theologians like Jürgen Moltmann claim that a “theology of play” is essential to understanding God’s freedom.

This isn't to dismiss theological doctrine across the interfaith spectrum as overly serious distraction. Doctrine has been taken seriously for millenia and it's lasted for a reason. So, the most interesting question becomes how does creativity and play exist within, and interact with, our secular and theological humanity on a personal level, and within a culture?

Tonight, with a delicious beer from the flowing taps at The Table Public House - we’ll explore how different traditions invite us to see theological study not only as a heavy and serious endeavor, but also as divine creativity. Laughter, art, and joy are just as important to our theological lives as doctrine! Lace those shoes up, grab a beer, and let's get on this theological playground!

**Note:** This event is NOT hosted by Denver Brew Theology. It is hosted by Judaism Your Way, so all details are managed by their faith group.

Hello everyone, we will not have a remix this week for Denver Brew Theology, but encourage you to consider joining Judaism Your Way for an uplifting and sacred blending of traditional and contemporary High Holiday prayer, poetry and music. Please register for their service if you wish to attend.

Rosh Hashanah , the Jewish new year, is a fall holiday, taking place at the beginning of the month of Tishrei , which is actually the seventh month of the Jewish year (counting from Nisan in the spring). It is both a time of rejoicing and of serious introspection, a time to celebrate the completion of another year while also taking stock of one’s life.

The two days of Rosh Hashanah usher in the [Ten Days of Repentance](https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-ten-days-of-repentance/) (*Aseret Yemei Teshuvah*), also known as the Days of Awe (*Yamim Noraim*), which culminate in the major fast day of [Yom Kippur](https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/yom-kippur-101/), the Day of Atonement.

If you are interested in learning more about the Days of Awe - here is a handy podcast that is quite [accessible to all. ](https://onbeing.org/programs/sharon-brous-days-of-awe/)

Join us for a delicious beer and excellent topic at The Table Public House in South Denver! As it is Oktoberfest month, let's have a hearty 'Prost!' over an excellent topic...

Ethics and metaphysics are deeply intertwined: our understanding of reality shapes how we define good and bad. A theist may see morality as universal and divinely revealed, while a humanist might point to our evolutionary drive for cooperation as the true root of ethics. Still others argue that morality is entirely relative, shifting across cultures and eras. Each of these views makes strong claims—and raises challenging questions. If morality is universal, how do we explain its many variations? If morality is relative, how do we agree on boundaries that protect human dignity?

Our ideas of right and wrong get instilled over time, but they come from somewhere. Are they grounded in something beyond us—whether divine, natural, or universal—or are they simply the product of culture, circumstance, and personal experience? Albert Einstein once suggested that ethics should grow from sympathy, education, and social ties, rather than from fear of punishment or hope of reward. Others, like theologian Francis Schaeffer, argued that morality must be rooted in something higher than human opinion: the very character of God. Between those poles lies a fascinating landscape of belief, doubt, and debate.

This conversation invites us to wrestle with some of the oldest and most important questions humans have asked: Is there such a thing as a moral truth that transcends culture and time? How does our personal worldview shape our ethical framework? And what happens when those frameworks collide in a diverse, pluralistic society? Come ready to share your perspective, hear others’, and explore together where our sense of morality really comes from.

We hope to see you there - Prost!
