Beer and Theology: Future Dates

Meetings are at 6:30-8pm, at The Angel pub, Rotherhithe (unless specified otherwise).

Friday 17 March – Richard Jordan, ‘Mark’s Gospel: good news for a church in numerical decline.’

Richard is a Beer and Theology regular and a parish priest in the Chelmsford Diocese, where he looks after three small congregations.

Friday 21 April – Jodi Hinds, ‘A Theology of Food.’

An evening to explore our relationship with food in our life ‘under the sun’. From ingredients and flavours, to mealtimes and celebrations, how does food interact with our relationship with God and each other?

Jodi is a food photographer, based in Hackney. She sometimes works under the motto of ‘shoot one, eat one’, resulting in a tasty working life!

Friday 19 May – Anita Justice, ‘A year living in Christian community.’

Anita Justice will share some reflections on the year that she and her family spent with the Chemin Neuf Community in Spain. The Chemin Neuf Community is a Catholic community with an ecumenical vocation. Chemin Neuf exists in 30 countries, including the UK. It draws people from many Christian traditions to live the adventure of community life together.

Friday 21 July – Leanne Sedin, ‘My Life Flows On In Endless Song… How Can I Keep From Singing?’ 

Leanne is a choir leader, music educator, singer and composer based in East London. She has long been fascinated and delighted by music, words and voices, and has explored this variously over the years through collaborative community songwriting, a PhD in psycholinguistics, composition using verbatim theatre techniques, and by gathering as many people together to sing as many songs as they can as often as possible. Leanne will help us reflect theologically on singing not only as a form of worship but also as a gift from God for our thriving, comfort, connection and joy. www.leannesedin.com
