‘Open Book, Open Mind’ meets this term for five Monday evenings in June (1st, 8th,15th, 22nd, 29th) at 7.30pm. Our book this time is ‘The Lost Message of Jesus’ by Steve Chalke. This promises to provoke plenty of discussion. What was Jesus’ message? Has it been lost? Has Steve Chalke rediscovered it, or has he himself lost the plot?
No assumptions are made about the beliefs of those who attend and no-one is judged on the basis of the contributions they make. The stated aims of the group are to go deeper in honesty, understanding, and friendship.
‘Open Book, Open Mind’ is an apologetics discussion group in which we discuss a book each term in order to challenge ourselves to think more deeply about our faith. We aim to ‘go deeper in honesty, understanding, and friendship”.
In our recent sessions we have read ‘There is a God. How the world’s most notorious atheist changed his mind’ by Anthony Flew, ‘The Bible Jesus Read: Why the Old Testament Matters’ by Philip Yancey, ‘The Air We Breathe’ by Glen Scrivener and ‘The God Desire’ by David Baddiel. Open, honest, thought-provoking conversations, without assumptions or judgements, helped us to go deeper together.
All are very welcome to join in.
