The Armchair Theologians is a safe place to share your questions, thoughts, and experiences about our spiritual journeys. We do not judge or try to
convince one another; rather, we find community in sharing our ideas openly, and enrichment in learning how the same story can inspire different reactions in different people. Using videos, audio programs, and the Gospel readings, our focus this year will be on exploring our Christian tradition as well as learning to hear those who have beliefs which differ from our own Join us once or many times; we d love to see you.The Armchair Theologians meet from 9 10 AM each Sunday in the St. Mary s Room.
