Tonight is the first monthly Theology Pub at the Mercury in Denver. This event is my idea and I am the hostess, therefore a prayer is in order:
"Dear God,
Bless this weird little thing where strangers gather over beer to talk about our experiences of you. May those who participate be brought closer to you. Above all God, please help me to not get in the way because you and I are both aware of my ability to fuck things up, and without you I am sunk."
In Jesus name,
AMEN.

books and magazines i dig
Nadia Bolz-Weber: Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
This is my book. It will change your life. Ok, not really.- Nadia Bolz-Weber (that's me!): Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
Here's my book. You should buy it. Kester Brewin: Signs of Emergence
This book is tremendous. Drawing on his background as a math teacher, Brewin explores why the church is where it is and why it is to change...using complexity theory. This is a must read.Edward and Lorna Mornin: Saints: A Visual Guide
This is a gorgeous handbook of the saints.Peter Rollins: How (Not) to Speak of God.
Pete is an emerging church pastor of the Ikon community in Belfast, Ireland. I can't recommend this book enough.Phyllis Tickle: The divine hours
Phyllis is one the smartest women I've ever met. I'm using this book for matins and noon prayer as well as vespers and compline.- the original editor of Ad Busters: Geez Magazine
*holy mischief in an age of fast faith* I cannot recommend this enough. Ad free, gorgeous, pleasingly dangerous. geez Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith
One of my favorite books of all time. She's pretty cranky and sarcastic too.Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures
Gibbs and Bolger spent 5 years compiling this book which relys heavily on interviews with emerging church leaders in the US and the UK. They seem to favor independant churches over denominational ones...so very little is said about us "loyal radicals"

COngrats on starting theology pub. It's exciting to hear this wonderful tradition continues on. Recently a good friend of mine has moved to my town and we've discussed beginning one... please pray for us.. can you offer guidance how you started your theology pub?

KROW,
well, i'm certainly no expert as last night was the first one, but I found a very hip local business who let us have the monthy meeting there, then I made up some post cards and gave them out. We had just 5 last night, but I think it's really going to grow....good luck !

Wish I could be there. I mean, two of my favorite things, beer and God, put together in one place! God's grace always trumps our foul ups, doesn't it?

From your lead, Nadia, I presented the possibility to our emerg. church here in VA Beach and it was a big thumbs up ... so next Thurs. we're going to be meeting at an Irish American pub!
You bring a smile to my face ... I'm a very 'old' Luth. Impressive blog site, here! Glad to engage with you on emergingwomen. Will we see you in VA Beach for the gathering?

Very cool, back in Eugene I started "Dessert and Dogma" at Expresso Roma, and back in High school I had a thing called "Tacos and Theology" going on at the Taco Johns here in Cheyenne.
Peace,
Chris
