What to expect at Pub Theology:
What is Pub Theology?
People have been gathering in pubs and public spaces for ages, talking about life, philosophy, faith, and deep questions of meaning. Today, people are rediscovering the pub as a safe, open space where they can explore and express their own doubts and questions, learn from others, and engage people of varying religious traditions. In our increasingly fractured society, these spaces are not only welcome, but needed.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and pull up a chair.
The format is simple: a beverage, conversation, and God. Engage with people of varying religious traditions, philosophical perspectives and life experiences. You are invited to share your own wrestlings and thoughts while learning something new along the way.*
