WE NOW INTERRUPT THIS RECESSION….” Please join in the upcoming Summer Evening Philosopher Cafe series for an opportunity to do some serious thinking about the role that money, consumerism, and the recession play in our lives, and how our faith might offer new insights and values into this conundrum. This four week series will begin on Tuesday evening, June 23rd and the series will end on Monday, July 20th, with Rev. Jay McDaniel, a fine American theologian who will be teaching at VST’s Summer School that week. (Some members of the congregation have studied his book, Living from the Centre: Spirituality in an Age of Consumerism).
The format of each evening will include a presentation followed by small group discussion. Caroline Penhale, a member of our congregation, will be coordinating this programme. The evenings will begin at 7 pm, and we are planning on having the presentations in the Salons.
