Theology Pub Discussion Sheets

April 20, 2011 Adam Walker Cleaveland

It’s been almost two years since we started up our Theology Pub in Livermore. It’s been a good experience, and one of the things that I look forward to every month. It was initially setup to become an opportunity for young adults to come together in a non-church setting and have conversations about God & theology. That’s not really what it’s become, but that’s okay. The group is different every week, but it’s always a diverse group. Lots of Methodists from Asbury UMC show up, but also Presbyterians, folks from Congregation Beth Emek (Jewish synagogue), some self-professed atheists and others.

It’s not really a “young adult” group – but again, I think that’s okay. I remember one month where we had about 20 people with ages ranging from 26-80 sitting along a table in a bar talking about faith and sexuality. Sure that makes for some funny conversations – but how cool is that?

If you want to know more about how I advertise for each Theology Pub and more about the format of the evenings, please check out this post: Theology Pub in Livermore. Recently some folks have been asking to see the discussion sheets/handouts that I use at each Theology Pub. So I’ve put them all together and you can download them in a zipped file below. In the download, you can find discussion sheets for the following topics:

  • The Bible
  • Creation
  • Creativity & Faith
  • Doubt(ing) as Faith
  • Evangelism
  • Faith
  • Faith & Money
  • Hell
  • How (Not) to Speak of God
  • Interfaith Dialogue
  • The Missional Church
  • Pluralism
  • Rethinking Church
  • Sexuality
  • Social Justice
  • Spirituality

Click here for the download. I hope you find this to be a helpful resource as you endeavor to create similar types of groups in your own area. Let me know if you have any other questions.
