Upcomimg Topic:
Where does the emergent church stand in relation to this mystical relational faith? Does its focus on contemplative exercises combined with its hostility towards evangelism lead to self-focus? Does its formulation of the Gospel in terms of “following Jesus” and his kingdom lead to an impersonal “way” rather than a relationship?
Familiarity with readings from “mystic” texts such as: St Dionysius, Meister Eckhart, St John of the Cross, & The Cloud of Unknowing, New Seed of Contemplation, etc. will be helpful in your participation.

The Sugarlump Theology Salon is a gathering of theologians and thinkers in the San Francisco Bay Area who meet in order to share and discuss their ideas and get peer feedback from one another. In the tradition of “The Inklings” (the literary group of C.S. Lewis’s and J.R.R. Tolkien that met in a pub for readings and criticism of their own work) we meet in a coffee house (the San Francisco equivalent of a pub) called the “Sugarlump Coffee Lounge”.
