Apropos of this political season, our next DTS study will be William Wilberforce's work, A Practical View of Christianity. Wilberforce, a member of British parliament, put his faith in action and was instrumental in abolishing the slave trade in Great Britain. If his name rings a bell, the fairly recent movie Amazing Grace was about Wilberforce and his efforts.If you are a DTS regular, I enjoyed partying with you twice over the past month and look forward to jumping back into a book study with you. The Pilgrim's Progress made for some great discussion, and I'm eager to see how God will challenge us in this new year and season.
If you're new to DTS or thinking about checking us out, Welcome! We are a mixed group (men and women, married and single) that began as a short-term focus group studying Francis Schaeffer and grew into the Dead Theologians Society. We are not theologians by profession, just people who enjoy being stretched and challenged.
On a "practical" note, we will no longer be meeting in the church cafe. We are now going to be meeting at my apartment, though our time remains the same: 7-9pm. (Contact me for directions.)
Also, the books for the new study will be available to purchase from me. Please order through me for the $6 deal or order the edition linked to above so that we can be sure to all be literally "on the same page" in our discussions. Thanks!

hi, i was searching the net for more references to read on the final line in "The Weight of Glory" and i got to your blog. that's a wonderful group you've started there. i'd give up anything in my schedule to join such a group! yours is just too far for me to hear/see live the discussions which i've been waiting for. is there any possibility of making use of cyber tech to record and broadcast your discussions, like you-tube or something?
