Hanley Road Prayer Meeting: For many of us prayer can be difficult and awkward. Praying in community unites us towards a common end and teaches us how to pray. Join us for our monthly prayer meeting on Sunday, March 21 from 4:30-5:30 PM in the Hanley Road 3rd floor Lounge.
THEOLOGY AT THE BOTTLEWORKS: Have a good conversation on important issues with people both inside and outside of Christianity. This month’s topic is “What the “Best Pictures” Say About Us”, discussing this year’s Oscar nominees and their significance in reflecting or making culture. Are we making movies or are movies making us? Join us Wed., March 17, 7pm at Schlafly Bottleworks. For more info at www.midrashstl.com
An amazingly diverse conglomeration of people arrived at February’s “Theology at the Bottleworks”: atheists, agnostics, Christians, sunworshippers, Buddhists and Muslims. About 100 in total. What could bring out this array of people? Answer: the oldest and most important question a person can ask, “God or no God?” The “new atheists” like Richard Dawins are strident in voicing their disbelief, while believers are more engaged than ever in supporting their views in public. This discussion – held in a pub, no less – had all the makings of a philosophical fight club.
What we had instead was a fascinating evening. We started by talking about “god-ness”, i.e., what do we call God, and what attributes would a deity have?

Like many of you, my wife and I have been still trying to fathom the amount of destruction and the miraculous events occurring in Haiti. Even after weeks, people are still being found alive.
