What lies behind it all in TQQT?
Christian people in these early days of the 21st century have a long agenda of topics which lie at the heart of their faith but which raise persistent questions. The aim of these trios is to open up the quest and engage with some of those questions. What do Christians believe, why do they believe it, and should they keep on believing it?
The aim of TQQT is partly, to quote a famous phrase, 'faith seeking understanding', but it also gives space to 'doubt seeking understanding'. If you came before, we hope you will come again. If you didn't, come and give it a try!
Who can come?
Anyone and everyone. There are no entrance conditions - except an open mind and a spirit of exploration!
What will it cost?
Just £6.00 per session (£15.00 per trio). This will cover tea/coffee at half-time.
