“What are your preferred pronouns?” As we learn more about gender identity and sexual orientation, we discover that concepts like male and female are complicated. To make the start of Pride month, join the Rev. Mike Angell in a discussion about faith, LGBTQ+ identity, and pronouns. What language do we use to name ourselves, to name God? How might subtle shifts in pronouns help us to more fully engage spirituality?
Theology on Tap seeks to create a “low pressure” environment for conversations about faith, ethics, politics, and life today. Join us and bring friends.

Over the past few months, the cultural understanding of gender and justice has shifted. The #MeToo movement has caused us to question the way we relate to one another professionally and intimately. How do we engage this moment faithfully? What resources and challenges come from our spiritual traditions? How do we both within and from the church make strides towards justice with women?
In December we switch up our usual pattern for some fun. We’ll also be playing Advent and Christmas Trivia! Get your teams together to compete for fabulous prizes. There will be questions about Christmas movies, music, along with Church history and stories about how we ended up celebrating the Incarnation in such a strange manner
Some communities in our country were shocked at the white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville. Many black church leaders were unsurprised. In September we will be joined by Professor Ben Sanders III of Eden Seminary. His PhD thesis in progress at Iiff Seminary and the University of Denver seeks to “reestablish black theology as a resource for contemporary churches in need of a robust theological approach to race and racism.” He will lead us in a conversation about being an “anti-racist” person of faith after Charlottesville.
