General Information
Everyone is welcome to join this bi-monthly Theological Reading Group. We will be coming together on a Sunday to illuminate scripture through a selection of texts that span a breadth of history and textual types. There will be a theme for each session and collection of texts.
Download all 2026 themes and texts lists here:
The group will be held at St Pancras, Euston Road while being held in partnership with St James's Piccadilly.
Each 2-hour session will remain grounded in scripture and discussion, stimulated by one pre-Reformation theological text, one modern theological text, and one non-theological text, typically a work of poetry. In each instance, pre-determined chapters will be scanned as a PDF and uploaded on the church websites in advance of the session.
For each session, we will gather for coffee, tea, and biscuits at 13:00, with our discussion beginning at 13:15 and concluding no later than 15:00.
These sessions are an exciting opportunity to listen to and learn from each other respectfully. All are welcome, and each session will remain mindful of the Code of Conduct to ensure that we can discuss a broad range of works and themes in a way that is both stimulating and safe.
