… There are plenty of Meetup groups for people who are exploring New Thought and New Age or who are 'recovering from religion'. This is for people who are deeply committed to Christ, but can't stop asking questions that they are afraid to ask in church or are not satisfied with the answers they get. This is not a venue to preach an alternate theology that I have read or formulated. I will not be teaching, only moderating a discussion among equals.

There's nothing wrong with evangelism or trying to convert people, but that's not what …

This group is primarily a social group, to meet and maybe make new friends with people who went through a similar experience as you.

Neither will judgmental behavior towards members for thin …

Movies and Meaning was started in October, 2007 as way to bring people together from various spiritual, religious, and philosophical perspectives who have in common a love of meaningful movies. I personally started the group after I realized how often I was turning to contemporary movies in order to paint a picture of a spiritual theme in my weekly sermons. But, because I am just as comfortable in emerging spiritualities and other traditions as I am in the Christian tradition I didn't want it t …

… I have friends of all religions, races, dietary restrictions, sexual orientations, and religious preferences-- but I am looking to start a group that is more 'my peeps' here. I fall in the 'in between' category, if there was one-- I drive a SUV (gasp), but I live fairly central so I walk most of the time, I'm somewhere between only using cloth diapers and only using disposable ones (lately it's been mostly disposables)... I do not follow any one parenting style-- we're more in the 'whatever work …
