TONIGHT at our regular Pub Theology DC gathering, we’ll be LIVE TWEETING – you can join us in person, at the Bier Baron at 1523 22nd St NW – just a few blocks west of the Dupont Circle Metro stop, or you can jump in on the conversation via Twitter using #pubtheology. Be sure to follow me (@bryberg) and (@pubtheology). Here are the topics we’ll be discussing:

  1. If you could name the street you live on what would you call it?

  1. If you received an extra burrito when ordering at your local shop would you say something?

  1. True or false: We should be wary of any efforts to improve human nature.

  2. Did you march on Saturday? Are you marching tomorrow? Does marching lead to justice?

  1. Did Jesus pay for our sins? In what way?

  1. Is hell a just punishment for sinful people?

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!  Come on down and join us for a pint, or grab your smart phone, a craft-brewed pint, and hit the Twitters! Starting at 7pm.

Church Planters Academy Highlights 2

Tonight's portion was on failure in church planting — Rich McCullen (Missiongathering), Mike Stavlund (Common Table), and Mark Scandrette (ReImagine). "Only those who have been wounded by power learn to wield it responsibly." "Instead of building, think of gardening. What can grow here? What's already flowering even w/o tending?" "If something is not working let it die."

4 steps for talking about Jesus at the bar (or coffeehouse, or anywhere else)

If you're like me, you've been told once or twice that being a good Christian includes occasionally telling other people about Jesus. Your reaction might go something like: “Ewww. Yuck. I’m not that interested in evangelism, or selling something, or anything like that.” But there is another part of you which senses that if more people knew the Jesus who was a radical for peace, forgiveness, love, and justice—the world would be a better place. So how does one go about doing this, without feeling like an unwanted door-to-door salesperson or an awkward friend?

Pub Theology Recap April 21

Surrounded by some new art, and still hovering in purgatory, about fifteen of us gathered at the Pub during Holy Week, or more precisely, on Maundy Thursday. What exactly is Maundy Thursday? Great question – but we weren’t there to answer that.

Improbable Souls: A Poem

Today's post is a poem written by Jack Ricchiuto, inspired by a recent conversation at Pub Theology DC. A short poem. It came out of a question that emerged for me from last night, somehow: what if God was approached by people who want access to heaven and hell to bring love to those they loved in their lifetime here? Enjoy. Improbable Souls Angels dart glances on the rare occasion Where God sits in speechless reflection On a new request, never uttered by the Billions before, the seemingly simple request To have dual citizenship, bilateral passports Into heaven and hell

Pub Theology Recap June 16

Whose idea is it to recap a discussion on theology over beer a week later? Not a great idea. But here goes anyway. These were last week's topics, and I'll do my best to give a couple thoughts that were expressed: 1. What is your favorite part about summer? 2. How does one move forward after a tragedy? How do you explain it? 3. Is history science or art? (watch Stephen Colbert's re-enactment of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride!) 4. “Children are bad at lying for the same reason that adults are. We are born with a conscience (which is God's voice in our soul) that says it is wrong for us to bear false witness.” 5. The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man. 6. “The point of the universe is the hallowing of God's name.”
