Theology by the Glass
Our summer conversation series— stay tuned for 2026 details!
Theology by the Glass is about the most laid back approach to Christian education that you can imagine.
Basically, an article, video or podcast is distributed a week or two in advance of the gathering, which acts as grist for our conversational mill. People gather, and we stay focused for as long as everyone feels like staying focused (usually about an hour), and then chase all sorts of conversational tangents until everyone is ready to leave.
Past Theology By the Glass
-
There are two articles to read for July’s Theology by the Glass. The first article by Vince Gambuto is “My Word for 2022: Wait”. The second article by Rakia Sassi takes a close look at how the Gambuto article demonstrates a contemplative style of writing.
While these are not religious articles, they offer a good starting point on how we can engage with writing as a tool to work through and develop our own life of faith.
Ian Mowat will be leading the event. We'll begin with a discussion on some of our own individual faith practices, followed by a two-part exercise. The first part of the exercise will start with a brief contemplative breath meditation, followed by a writing session that mirrors the breath meditation.
Before the event, please read these two articles:

Article: Laura Jean Truman: “The Enoughness of Showing Up”
Questions to consider:
What does this article have to do with Ordinary Time, a time with no particular focus or feast?
What does it mean to “bring what you have” to the table, even when it doesn’t feel like much?
What does grace look like in everyday life — not in theory, but in practice?
What does it mean to you to be faithful in small things?
