Faith in Ferment is a series of pub discussions on topics of faith started by Atlanta Mennonite Fellowship. We wanted to create an informal gathering where people interested in faith, God, or theology could discuss freely what is most important to them. All who want to come and have an honest discussion are welcome regardless of your beliefs. Disagreement is fine and even desirable in this group.

Learn to Play Guitar and/or Bass Guitar The most important thing, after your personal motivation to play, is knowing, with some degree of certainty, what you are trying to accomplish.

This group is dedicated to committed students of guitar and we expect that members will practice regularly and attend classes.   To …

After belonging to other reading groups with much younger members I have come to realize that my life experiences and theirs are vastly different. Being separated by several generations means you will have a very different take on the books you read. That would be fine if the younger people were open-minded enough to consider that I may know what I'm talking about when discussing housewives from the 50's. After all, my mother was one of them. But they did not do that. They simply fed me the pa …

We are a smaller book club that meets monthly. We read fiction and non-fiction and have vegetarian-friendly dinners at meetings. Our members come from all walks of life. The things we have in common are that we like to read, have thoughtful discussions, and eat! It's OK to come to the meetings even if you didn't like the book or couldn't finish the book. Also, you don't have to be vegetarian to join, and this group is NOT designed as a forum for reading/discussing books about vegetarianism.

I started this meetup group to combine two things.. Dancing and as a social group for freethinkers.. This meetup piggybacks on a dance meetup, so most people there will be dancers. "Freethinker" is an umbrella term for atheists, agnostics, as well as the occasional Buddhist or deist, classical freethinker (like the American Founders), and many Unitarians. It is the fundies who should be singled out (not freethinkers), so I would rater have a freethinker meetup, rather than an atheist meetup.. B …
