This is a reading/discussion group that meets weekly and is open to anyone. The readings, some written by Christians, others by atheists or non-Christians, cover a wide range of topics. The aim is to wrestle with interesting and challenging ideas. The readings are usually single essays or a chapter from a book and are handed out the week prior to its being discussed. Suggestions for future readings are always welcome.
