Church Potluck: A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity
Church Potluck serves up thoughtful, friendly, informal conversation at the intersection of Christianity and contemporary culture. Just like a church potluck, we offer variety: a variety of topics, a variety of academic disciplines, and a variety of Christian traditions. Guests are friends and colleagues who are also experts in the fields of sociology, political science, theology, philosophy, divinity, and more.

Coping with Grief During the Christmas Season
Christmas is supposed to be a happy, joyful time full of festive celebration. So what happens when you don't feel like celebrating? Join us for an informative and heartfelt discussion about the challenges of grieving during the holidays. Why can the holidays be so difficult? What do we in the Church do well -- and not so well -- when it comes to helping others grieve? How can we who are grieving cope, and how can we help others cope?
