Please contact Lauryn (lauryn7808@gmail.com) or Glenda (ssgship@msn.com) for a summary of what transpired. SOP Movie Nights Atheism: A Christian Response Because we are a liberal Christian congregation and therefore not all tradionalist or fundamentalist in our theology, we embrace people who adopt a wide range of philosophies to try to understand our world or "the meaning of life." One such philosophical approach is "atheism." In 2008 Floyd organized a one-session small group meeting one evening at Tom's home during which we studied a guide called "Atheism: A Christian Response," distributed by The Thoughtful Christian. As usual we strayed far from the narrow path suggested in the guide and ended up trading stories and our own belief systems which were, of course, as numerous as those of us in attendance. What a fun and challenging evening it was!
