Second Saturday Conversation

Second Saturday Conversation

Our sessions encourage a deeper and broader understanding of Christianity and its place and contribution in this “post-modern world.” In the same vein, progressive Christianity topics are explored and made accessible during our discussions. For more information on what Second Saturday is, find past recordings and materials from the sessions here. Consequently, Second Saturday Conversations are available via Zoom for free for all. Please join us for our next session!
