For some of us, “God” has become loaded, complicated, or just… unusable. For others it still carries beauty, comfort, and deep meaning.This month is about giving ourselves permission to be honest and curious:
What do we mean when we say “God”?
Are we talking about a being, a presence, a force, a relationship, a metaphor… or something that emerges?
What happens to “God” when you take evolution, suffering, and uncertainty seriously?
Can Christians let go of inherited assumptions about God and still be Christian? (Spoiler: yes. The church survived worse.)
The format will run something like this:
- Introductions
- A quick-fire small group discussion around your tables
- 15-20 min presentation from Brian Ammons
- 10 min table discussion
- Facilitated feedback/questions from tables
- Close
This is not a debate, and it’s not about landing on the “right” answer.
It’s a held, conversational space for people who feel disillusioned, cautious, curious, or quietly hopeful — especially if the Bible has been a complicated or painful place.
Discussions are not recorded, and no one will be put on the spot.
Listening is a perfectly valid way to take part.
We’ll aim to start and finish on time, out of respect for those making travel or childcare arrangements.
No RSVP is required, but if you’re able to click Going or Interested, it does help us get a rough sense of numbers for catering.
