A Plug for the Pub Gathering
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : March 12, 2005
If you are in the Twin Cities, and have some seeking friends who might like to engage in thoughtful discourse about issues involving the intersection of faith and culture, then you are hereby invited to the next Pub Gathering. This month we’ll be discussing the
relationship between Christianity and American Politics. This is a hot
topic among pundits and pollsters. Some love the alliance between
Republicans and the so-called "Christian Right," others abhor it. Did
conservative Christians hand Bush the election? What role should people
of faith have in the political process? Questions abound. Come share
your questions…as well as your answers. Join us on April 6th at
8:00PM at the Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis (just east of downtown
on Washington Ave).
The Pub Gathering is a once-a-month guided discussion for anyone
interested in dialoging about issues of faith and culture. It is open
to people of all backgrounds. Join us on the first Wednesday of every
month at the Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis. The Pub Gathering is
designed to be a guided discussion. After some "mingling" time, our
guest presenter gives a short (10 minute) talk to raise the issues
surrounding our discussion topic. The rest of the evening is devoted to
pure, unadulterated discussion.
Help get the word out!

Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.

I was going to send a few of you a link to Mission:Think’s “Pub Gathering,” but then I realized that far more of you might be interested in this than I can think of. It looks to be good discussion and good fellowship. Don’t know if I’m available…
I’m assuming that as a Bethel student you’ll be enjoying a nice frosty glass of water at this gathering?
Of course…
Sounds like a very important topic. Who will be guiding the discussion?
Usually, we have a guest come and share for 10 minutes to get the ball rolling, and then the discussion pretty much flows from there without much guidance. If any guidance is needed, usually I’m the one to give it.
This month’s guest hasn’t been determined yet. I asked Greg Boyd, but he can’t come until this summer, when we’ll discuss politics again, since that is a topic he’s passionate about.
