Last night at the Berks County (PA) Theology with a Twist, I spoke about "Violence and the Bible."  We had a good discussion, around tables and as a group.

I'm posting my talking points below.  Maybe they can generate conversation here as well.

Tonight, I'm the guest speaker at the Theology with a Twist meeting at the Kutztown (PA) Tavern.  This program, like ones called Theology on Tap, offers a public option for those interested in theological conversation.  While it is supported by churches, its founders recognize that people inside church buildings aren't the only ones who care about life after death, what the Bible has to say about marriage, the ethics of immigration reform, and a myriad other concerns.
