Theology Salon
If you're looking for a SF bay area emergent cohort join us in our monthly Theology Salon.
Wikipedia defines salon as "a gathering of stimulating people of quality under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation and readings." Once a month we host a faciliated conversation about scripture, theology, church and culture.
The evening is frequently hosted by guest facilitators and particular articles or books are discussed. We meet on the 4th Sunday of every month from 7-9 P.M

We are approaching the dawn of the next Presidential election and Government is taking steps it never has in the financial markets. Join us as we use Shane Claiborne's new book, Jesus for President, as a basis for discussion on Jesus & Politics.
The salon will be held at Sugarlump Coffee Lounge in San Francisco.
The Salon is a gathering of theologians and thinkers in the San Francisco Bay Area who meet in order to share and discuss their ideas and get peer feedback from one another. In the tradition of "The Inklings" (the literary group of C.S . Lewis's and J.R.R. Tolkien that met in a pub for readings and criticism of their own work).
