mesh: a new, inclusive, faith discussion community

We are Christians in our 20s and 30s scattered around Northern Virginia eager for discussions on matters of faith. The word "mesh" means to mix, entangle, share, harmonize --- we hope to do all those things in conversation with peers from in and outside the church, across faith traditions, with different views, insights, beliefs and practices. To get directions or ask questions please join our "meshcommunity" Yahoo! Group.

Marcus Borg in Richmond Friday Nov. 7th

Hi gang,

Here's info on an event that might be of interest to MESH folks, from long-distance MESHer Meghan Vesel:
Marcus Borg, a prophetic voice in the paradigmatic shift in Christianity, will speak on the Two Visions of Christianity Today at St. James Episcopal Church in Richmond on Friday, November 2nd at 7:30 p.m. Sign up for the lecture at www.doers.org. The lecture is free - there is a @ $20 suggested donation, but I just called St. James and they said that is only suggested, especially if someone just attended the one hour lecture on Friday night. People can pay what they can or cannot.

Join other 20/30 somethings at a post-lecture free thinking discussion over coffee/wine/desert at wine bar Betsy’s at Bin 22- at 3200 West Cary Street – Richmond, VA 23221. All theological orientations on the spectrum are welcome – from theist to atheist and anywhere in between.

Please RSVP by Thursday, November 1st to meghanvesel@global.t-bird.edu or call (404) 583-1682 for the wine/coffee/desert discussion beforehand if you can just so we know what size table we need to reserve.”

In the interest of hospitality, I could try to put people up at my house. I’m a mile from St. James and about ½ mile from Carytown. Not sure how people would feel about staying with someone they don’t know.

If you're near Richmond, or you can make the trip down that evening, check it out!
