Our monthly Dialogues offer the Ottawa region a sustained, intimate setting for engagement with some of the best that has been said or written. Come read classics like Athanasius’s On the Incarnation as well as works by Isaac Watts, C.S. Lewis, and modern writers. Our ecumenical commitment means you are sure to encounter fresh perspectives in a respectful context. So, if you have been itching for a regular place to kick up your feet, laugh, and read books alongside other Christians, look no further!
When we talk to others about the gospel, what do they hear? Alan Noble suggests that they cannot hear our words because modern individuals are buffered from ‘the world out there’, including transcendent truths, by ‘individual choice, rationalism, and a disenchanted world.’ Different times and cultures present different barriers to the gospel, and Noble claims that in our society the two predominant barriers are relentless distraction and this secular, buffered way of being. Join us as we discuss Noble’s analysis of our society and his proposed solutions.
