Atheism for Lent

For the next 7 weeks of lent, The Pub Church will be entering a season of doubt. For seven weeks we will intentionally consider the possibility of being wrong about what we believe. What if every time we affirm God, Goddess, Spirit, Divine, we simultaneously affirm something less than God? What if the God we affirm, whoever She is, is always a delusion formed from the materials of our imagination and desires? During Atheism for Lent, we will allow ourselves to sit with this possibility and allow ourselves to experience the absence of God. God is not with us. We will not pray.

Atheism for Lent is created and inspired by Peter Rollins. He is known for saying, "To believe is human. To doubt, divine." He offers us an invitation to hold our convictions lightly and be willing to judge and interrogate ourselves. This is what we are doing at the pub church during the next seven week. May we recognize and remember our own experiences of the absence of the presence of God.

No Pub Church on Saturday July, 2nd

This is just to ANNOUNCE that The Pub Church will NOT gather this coming Saturday, July 2nd.

People are traveling, being gone, and The Dugout is closed.

See you back the following week, on Saturday, July 9 at the Dugout, 5:00pm :)

And have a great 4th of July weekend!

The Pub Church turns 3 today!

The Pub Church turns 3 years old! Three years ago we got together to help form a church we felt good about participating in, that would be fun, and where we could encounter the Divine and one another anew. Well, we're still at it! learning new things along the way and sticking to some of the old too - like eating and drinking together!

So, let's celebrate! We will be celebrating with a potluck dinner that will be extra delicious! And it will be organized so that it's all well balanced. ** Let me know if you would like to bring something delicious to contribute. You can email me, Xochitl, at xalvizo-at-gmail-dot-com.

THE PUB CHURCH

THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY DINNER

Saturday, April 30, 2011

5:00pm @ The Dugout
722 Commonwealth Ave.
Boston, MA 02215

Our very first gathering was on April 26, 2008 at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square...now we have made the Dugout our home and we'll be having our dinner there accompanied by our very first and longest standing musician, Andrew Prete!

Happy New Year! We're back at the Dugout!

Join us this Saturday, January 8th, as we make our way back to The Dugout - 722 Commonwealth Ave. Boston, 02215.

The last two weeks that they were closed we met at Xochitl, Jesse, and Wes' place for celebratory meals. But now we are back to our pub church home.

We will have Andrew Tripp leading and Connor Wood sharing his musical talents. I'm sure it will be a great first pub church of the year!

And on another note, this Thursday 1/6, Marie, our friend from Denmark, is being interviewed on national Danish television about The Pub Church! She was here in Boston this past fall for a semester abroad as part of her PhD Practical Theology program and was a regular pub church participant. She had previously written an article on our pub church two years ago after her first visit to us - now she is the native "Pub Church" expert in Denmark! Wish her luck on her first television appearance! Yay Marie!

See you soon and Happy New Year!
