Living the Questions

This modern theology group meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday mornings each month, using materials and a curriculum that connects us to modern Christian theology and spirituality. Led by a layperson, we engage in study and conversations about the nature of God, Jesus, emergent or progressive Christianity, St. David's purpose and place in Englewood today, and our individual faith journeys—all in a safe group. Materials and curriculum are chosen by group consensus.
