How does forgiveness work? What’s the gap between our daily jobs and the work we really feel called to do in the world? What is the “historical Jesus” – and who can Jesus be for me now? Aren't there other ways to God than just Christianity? These are the kinds of questions we honor and explore in a small-group setting of confidentiality and support, linking up faith and life as we really live it.
Theology on Tap
Dinner, drinks, and some theological conversation – we gather at 5:30 for food, drinks, music - and whatever questions of hope and life come to mind. Right now, we're cracking open basic questions of faith using the outline in the back of the Prayer Book (but going wherever we want with it), then using The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical, by Shane Claiborne, as our summer read. Shane, a cool guy in his early 30s who actually lives and works here in Philly, founded an alternative religious community called the Simple Way where the members live and work among the poor. All great ways to go deeper together in the connections with each other and with ourselves. Rsvp for dinner or childcare, by emailing the Rev. Susan Richardson, srichardson@christchurchphila.org.
