Cafe Theology

Theological discussion 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:

5 February - Asceticism. Throughout Christian history, the faithful have mortified their flesh and punished their bodies.
