?????? You may be asking: What is “Theology on Tap?” People have been gathering in pubs and public spaces for ages, talking about life, philosophy, faith and deep questions of meaning. Increasingly, people all over 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 beliefs and backgrounds. In our increasingly fractured society, these spaces are not only welcome, they’re needed. Join us!
No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you believe—there’s a seat for you at the table!
Whether your glass is full of beer, sparkling water, or coffee — you're welcome here!
