Questions, Inc -- A gathering for people who find the diversity of creation, ideas, and daily issues a source of faith exploration, rather than a call to spiritual isolation. Each Sunday is topic driven,centered on a faith and meaning perspective, but not limited to formal religion. Or put another way, isn’t everything we encounter in life a “faith issue”? From interfaith awareness, science, popular culture, health, education, politics, influential thinkers...they’re all worth placing under a creative faith lens. Add coffee, tea, good folks, and relaxed discussion. Contact: Steve Walden
