Pub Theology: Where Potato Wedges and a Beer are a Eucharistic Experience" is a new book now available, edited by myself and Irene Alexander. In a pretty ordinary pub, the Crown Hotel, in suburban Brisbane, a small group of friends organised a 'theology-on-tap' event. Since 2014 there have been close to fifty presentations. In this book some twenty presenters have written up their talks on a wide range of topics including: money, wealth, and a simple life-style, reading one's culture, issues of dislocation and belonging, medicine and healing, the dark night of the soul, a theology of weakness, issues in marriage and divorce, engagement with indigenous communities, unemployment issues, working in the juvenile justice system, downward-mobility, issues in a life of integrity, and many more. All the presenters gave their talk within a particular frame: intersecting their individual story in relation to the larger story of theology and spirituality. Thus, each talk has both a deeply personal "ringtone, " as well as links to wider traditions. I hope you enjoy it.A unique collage of voices of professionals as they intersect their life issues, struggles and pain with their faith traditions. This results in a grounded and lived theology that stares real life in the face, is self-disclosing, and hopeful. These voices may well inspire you to a deeper spiritual journey.
