Posted on by

11/15/21 Minutes

In attendance: Jackson, Ty (Moderator), Wyatt (Secretary)
Start time: 7:10 PM

Event Review:

We had a good discussion on Women and Christianity that was in depth and wide ranging. We did dunk on Christianity quite a bit also recognized christian groups that prioritize/d social justice. Decent participation turnout, although not as good as usual pre-covid times. Our sanitation procedures were followed closely, thank you all. A couple topics we might do future events for surfaced during the discussion, such as Early history of Christianity, Queer People and Christianity, and how that is all related to the Matrix movies.

Update:

Wyatt attended the lantern making for Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience. The lanterns will be displayed at the Hub Cafe on Nov 20th from 4 to 6pm.

Winter Calendar:

We added February reading discussion to give people a chance to talk in a season otherwise stacked with two panels.

We decided on “Social Justice in Christianity” as serviceable event name for our January panel. We want to explore those dissident trends within Christianity that won’t allow the bigots have the religion completely to themselves. We want Christians with leftist politics to talk about their experiences with being a leftist christian. We have a moderator, a time, and two panelists (and plans to get a third). We will host the panel online.

With more work to be done and questions to be answered about our February panel, at this time it will remain TBA. We are not really happy about this vagueness on the calendar but it is where we are at.

Our winter calendar is finalized and going to production.
