Join Calvary Church the first Wednesday of every month for an informal gathering to discuss – not debate – questions related to spirituality, theology, religion, etc.

Look for us most months on Dahlak’s back patio!

All are welcome. While SOT is not explicitly an interfaith group, and some discussions may be specific to a Christian context, we welcome all faith and religious/non-religious backgrounds and identities. We value both personal experience and intellectual reason in our conversations, informed by the wisdom found in sacred scripture and tradition. We are not at all interested in proselytizing, just learning from each other.

Drinks and food optional, and on your own.
