Theological Reading Group
Finding inspiration in Scripture through literature and discussion
Everyone is welcome to join this Theological Reading Group which seeks to illuminate scripture through texts that span a breadth of history and textual types.
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.
The group will meet alternate months on the following dates:
