Cafe Theology

Cafe Theology is a discussion group meeting open to all. It meets on Monday evenings, gathering over a glass of wine from 8:00 - 9:30 pm at Putney Pantry, St Mary’s Church. You can also join by Zoom, if you contact the organiser, Jenny. Everyone from any background is welcome to attend. 

They have a packed programme in the coming weeks:

• 1 September. Myth Narrative storytelling speaks to people and creates meaning and is foundational to culture. We will look at the use of myth in scripture.

• 8 September. Jesus's Moral Teaching.

• 6 October. Post-Modernism. How often you hear this term. We will try to define it. In a nutshell, it is that everything is subjective, there is no one truth. How does the church fit into a post-modern world. 

• 13 October. Does Religion do more Harm than Good? Introduced by Paul Donnelly. 

• 20 October. No meeting. (Women’s Institute in Putney Pantry on 3rd Monday of the month.) 

• 27 October. Should we agree with Strauss, Bultmann and the German school of theologians that miracles and angels are not historical but mythological? Introduced by James Roche.

• 3 November. The King James Bible: its composition, innovation and influence.  

• 10 November. Welcome the Stranger. Is there a limit?

• 24 November. 'Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.' What the Bible says about the environment. 

All meetings 8- 9.30pm begin with a short introduction followed by discussion over a glass of wine. Please bring your friends: atheists, sceptics, churchgoers, cultural Christians, all are welcome.
