Philosophy and Prayer: pathways to God?

Drawing on a theological tradition of contemplation of the unknown, and accepting that there is much we cannot know, we will engage in wanton and fabulous speculation to stretch our imagination and bring our thoughts closer to the transcendent. We will play with ideas provided by the Christian tradition, especially the Design Argument for God's existence and the puzzle of bodily metaphors for God in the Bible. We may not convince anyone, even ourselves, of the answers we consider, but the process may lead us to a place of prayer we have not been able to reach in other ways.

Suitable for all kinds of believers, nontheists, and others who would like to experiment with using the intellect to connect to 'that of God within' and/or without. No prior knowledge of theology, philosophy, or the Bible is needed.
