This is where we find ourselves today – living the story, even here, today, in Toronto. Here, today, in Toronto, we'd like to know: what might our city, what might our culture, what might our nation look like with God's kingdom come?

Bishop Tom Wright is no stranger to this conversation. Read through his books and you'll see that he is deeply and intimately concerned with questions of what faith and theology look like in practice, in the midst of this postmodern culture, even here, today. So this is our starting point. This is our first public conversation, and Tom, our first conversation partner. The questions we're asking are not, we hope, self-seeking. Rather, we aim to ask questions that bear directly on the ways in which theology, and especially our reading of Paul, interact with our lives and our culture in 21st Century Toronto.

Dedicated to exploring these questions in multifarious ways, the evening will feature performances by dj teknostep, hip-hop MC illSeer, as well as local singer-songwriters Julia Churchill and Alison Hari-Singh. And you know what? We've even asked the Bish to pick up his guitar for the occasion!

Sharing a few of his own faithful improvisations, on Tuesday May 9th, Tom Wright will join in our conversation, and we hope that you will too.

Doors open at 8pm, and our conversation will follow. The discussion will be facilitated by Brian Walsh, co-author of Colossians: Remixed and Truth is Stranger Than it Used to Be: Biblical Faith in a Postmodern Age.
