"HOLY CITY (http://web.me.com/gmaule/HOLY_CITY/Home.html) is a monthly workshop & worship event for curious folk and faithful doubters concerned with the contemporary challenges for progressive Christianity. It is organised by the Wild Goose Resource Group’s and a motley crew of Glaswegian citizens."
The 2009-10 year theme is Revised Standard Visions.
All events take place on Sundays at 7.00pm, in Renfield St Stephen’s Centre, 260 Bath Street, Glasgow. The dates for this year are 29th November/ 20th December/ 31st January/ 28th February/ 28th March/ 25th April/ 30th May. The evenings start off with some time for conversation followed by seminars and then a time of cake followed by a time of worship.
George and I made it along to the last one and had a great evening. If you fancy it but aren't up for turning up by yourself then drop us a wee email/txt/facebook and one of us will meet you there.
Holly :)
