Theology on Tap seeks to create a “low pressure” environment for conversations about faith, ethics, politics, and life today. We encourage anyone to attend, whether Episcopalian or not.
We will have this month’s theology on Tap in Tower Grove Park at the “Tunica Picnic Area” near the center of the park, and the big lawn where yoga happens during the Farmer’s market. Click here for a map.
This special edition of Theology on Tap will be a way to say a fond farewell to two of our favorite presenters. The Rev. Dr. Adam Ployd and the Rev. Dr. Ben Sanders will both be with us. Both have accepted calls that will take them from St. Louis this summer.
Together we will reflect on the challenge of being a person of faith committed to change in St. Louis. We will theologize about this moment in this place. What is God’s call to faithful St. Louisans in the months and years ahead especially around questions of race, equity, and building spiritual community?
This event is BYOE (Bring your own everything). You’re welcome to bring some food and a beverage of your choice (following park rules, note that glass bottles are prohibited.). There will be limited picnic table seating, but we encourage you to bring your own chair as well. We will follow Holy Communion’s outdoor gathering protocols, and ask that you check your symptoms before you come and keep physically distant from folks not in your own household. (Masks are optional for the vaccinated). Feel free to order and pick up some food and a beverage from our partners at Schlafly.
We ask you to register for purposes of contact tracing.
One of the things we miss most about Theology on Tap in person is the back and forth discussion. In the pandemic online world, we can still hear from speakers, but it has been hard to create room for discussion. We want to invite you to recreate that space with us.
Use the comments on Youtube or Facebook to share your thoughts and ask a question. We know, we know, midwesterners hate drawing attention to themselves, but we have designed this format specifically so we can hear from you. Please think of a question beforehand, ask during the presentation.
Consider creating your own “table” to talk with friends after the presentation. You could use Zoom, Google Meet, Facebook Rooms, or your own favorite video chat. Invite a group of friends to watch with you (live, or later on), and sign in to talk.
Here are the discussion questions. Who do you want to talk with?
On March 24 at 4:30pm, we conclude (for now) a set of conversations with interfaith leaders. We’ll be joined by Karma Lekshe Tsomo. Dr. Tsomo is a Buddhist Nun, a professor of religious studies, and a leader in Buddhist feminism. She integrates scholarship and social activism through her work for education and women’s rights in Buddhism. Get a“Table Group”together to discuss after the live conversation!
We will stream the conversation live on the Theology on Tap Facebook Page, the Holy Communion Facebook Page, and the Holy Communion Youtube Channel. We would love for you to ask questions and share comments in any of the channels.
On March 10 at 5:30pm, we continue a new set of conversations with interfaith leaders. Dr. James Croft and the Rev. Mike Angell will dialogue together about what it means to be a person of faith in today’s America. This dialogue will intentionally engage around questions of atheism, belief and what it means to be a congregation. Get a “Table Group” together to discuss after the live conversation!
