2024 Gatherings for the Spiritually Curious
Whether you are investigating the Christian faith for the first time, or have been a Christian for a while, we all have questions about God, faith, the Church, etc.
There is one ongoing gathering and three events happening this fall as part of the “2024 Gatherings for the Spiritually Curious:”
Questions for Normal People (aka, Theology on Tap) Will have two types of meetings: 1. Individuals present briefly on a topic, then the group discusses with the presenter and one another. 2. “Open”, discussing topics people bring.
A movie about Deitrich Bonhoeffer. View the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who preached love while plotting the assassination of an evil tyrant. Details TBD.
A Moss Arts Center performance of The Screwtape Letters. This semester, the Socrates gathering will focus on following up on the Screwtape Letters performance with a panel of individuals who can initiate, and answer, questions on Lewis’ work.
