TONIGHT at our regular Pub Theology DC gathering, we’ll be LIVE TWEETING – you can join us in person, at the Bier Baron at 1523 22nd St NW – just a few blocks west of the Dupont Circle Metro stop, or you can jump in on the conversation via Twitter using #pubtheology. Be sure to follow me (@bryberg) and (@pubtheology). Here are the topics we’ll be discussing:

  1. If you could name the street you live on what would you call it?

  1. If you received an extra burrito when ordering at your local shop would you say something?

  1. True or false: We should be wary of any efforts to improve human nature.

  2. Did you march on Saturday? Are you marching tomorrow? Does marching lead to justice?

  1. Did Jesus pay for our sins? In what way?

  1. Is hell a just punishment for sinful people?

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!  Come on down and join us for a pint, or grab your smart phone, a craft-brewed pint, and hit the Twitters! Starting at 7pm.

Every Bush is Burning

We recently spent some time looking at Moses’ experience at the burning bush at Roots DC, the faith community I’m a part of here in DC.

The reason lies in the way...

The Intimidating Task of Bible Study, Part 3

One of the curiously powerful aspects of the gospels in general that stands out for readers familiar at all with other ancient literature is the social context in which their stories are told. Whereas almost all other national epics and myths speak of the important events and struggles in the lives of gods, kings, or other nobles, the gospels’ concern is almost exclusively with the lives of the poor and marginalized.

Pub Theology Recap April 28

It was a light but enjoyable evening of Pub Theology last night. The art, on the other hand, was once again ominous and imposing. The hyped-up "Duel of the Deities", or whose God was 'bigger and better', was instantly over when I pulled out my article. Who could argue with a headline like that? :)

Ferguson: We Just Don’t Get It
Ferguson: We Just Don’t Get It

When we, as the white community, see the deep pain and mourning happening today and post something about "not complaining" -- we don't get it. When we, as the white community, see unfair police treatment of minorities and say, "Oh yeah, me too" -- we don't get it.
