A really cool gathering has come about at my house on Thursday nights. We have about 20 people who sit around my living room and discuss various topics.
The cool thing is that the ages range from teens to people in their 60s. Last week there was an openly gay African-American, an atheist woman from Japan, a Muslim lady from Pakistan, several seminary students, 3 baptist pastors, among others.
Its a really diverse group. It seems we have really created a safe space where people from all backgrounds can enter into conversations about any number of topics.
I think the group needs a name. I have been trying to think of various places known for free and honest intellectual discussion…cafes and coffee shops, bars and such. Hopefully that will inspire us towards a name. I know you Dopers can help out!
