Theology Pub on Wednesday...
Ever since then, I’ve been trying to figure out a way that I could work something like this into my own life — even if it didn’t turn out exactly as Doug envisioned it. Well, this Wednesday, I finally get to try it out. At 6pm, my small group (and anyone else who wants to stop by) is meeting at O’Dowd’s Little Dublin at the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City, Missouri (map).
- Courtesy and respect will be shown at all times.
- Commitment will be made to listen to the perspectives of others.
- All statements that are not explicit facts must include the attitude of “it seems to me.”
- All participants will work hard to increase their understanding of the issues between meetings.
- Participants must arrive by 8:15 pm.
We’ll be processing the thoughts and feelings we had as they led up to the election tomorrow, as well as the voting/election process in general. Food and beverages are available at O’Dowd’s (including some very hoity-toity, aged whiskeys)... We may even read some scripture and pray a little bit too. Most importantly, everything will all be done in public. This may stretch some comfort zones a little (mine included), but from everything I’ve read and heard, these excercises of practicing our faith in a public setting are very positive.
It should be fun to see how this all turns out, even if it doesn’t go completely according to plan — for all I know, I could wimp out and just let everyone socialize. In any case, my small group’s presence in any public place always tends to draw some kind of attention.
