Dinner!

This month, we started a new thing – dinner. Well, a new thing for the parish; obviously dinner has happened several times before in human history.

We almost always have dinner after a Eucharist liturgy and the conversation always flows. But, it’s quick – everyone needs to get home. There’s not much time to get to know each other, or cover much ground.

I know most regulars pretty well, so I know that everyone who attends St Uriel’s has years of spiritual experience, extensive reading and study on lots of topics and a lot of inner depth. But it takes time to find all that out about someone.

So, once a month, more or less, I’ll be hosting a dinner somewhere public so that we can all get to hear more from each other and discover what I already know – what fascinating, inspiring, deep people you all are.

Make sure you check out the Event Calendar and put the dates in your diary and we’ll see you there next month!

Agape Meal

“Agape” means spiritual love in Greek.

An Agape meal is dinner, with some prayers around it. By sharing food, we exemplify hospitality, community and love.

We gather as a community to share some food before we enter the family-time of Christmas.

Bring a plate to share. Bring a guest, if you like.

This is at a private home. Address details are shared with attendees closer to the date.

You can RSVP by email (use the Contact form) or via the Facebook event.

Dinner & discussion

Wisdom, “Sophia” in Greek, is a divine figure for Jews, Gnostics and Christians.

What aspect of reality does Divine Wisdom reflect? What is wisdom for human beings? How does all this relate to a spiritual path?

Let’s talk about it over wine and food. Like the good old days.

These nights are an informal time to meet and get to know each other, but also to discuss what we’re reading, ask questions, and share ideas and experiences.
