Theology Club
Next meeting: To be announced.
In the cafe area at St Andrew’s Church, Earls Colne.
Welcome to our Theology Club, which meets four times a year to dig deeper into the diversity of views on a particular topic, exploring what their origins are and the discussion on them throughout the centuries.
You may have been going to church for years, you might be new to church or you might not go regularly to church, if at all, but this club is open to all who wish to listen, share, ask questions and proffer opinion in a respectful and safe environment.
The session will start with refreshments and an introduction from Reverend Mark and will then be followed by group discussion. If you’re planning to come, please let Reverend Mark know (email: colnesvicar@gmail.com or tel 01787 220347).
