Alpha: Alpha Group
Wednesdays until June 24, 2026
12:30 AM
What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next? If you're looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions and share your own opinion, there's a place for you. Connection Connecting with others is what we were made for. All sessions start with a time to connect and build friendships, eliminating awkwardness and creating space for important conversations. Content Alpha’s content explores the big questions we all ask, and guests from any background can unpack the basics of Christian faith. Bring your questions, you’ll find you’re not alone. Conversation Those who attend Alpha share that their group discussions are hands-down the best part of the experience. No questions are off limits and there’s nothing you can’t say (really).

Book Club: Book Discussion - Against the Machine (Part 3b)
Thursday, April 23, 2026
1:00 AM
Join us this term to read a contemporary book Against the Machine: The Unmaking of Humanity by Paul Kingsnorth. We will meet monthly on the 4th Wednesday to discuss a few chapters at a time, working our way slowly through the book between January and May. Together with Kingsnorth, we will think about what it means to live in our time and be shaped by presence within our technological systems and economies. All are welcome and should feel free to bring any friends brave enough to think about the challenge of becoming human in our time. You can purchase the book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/against-the-machine-on-the-unmaking-of-humanity-paul-kingsnorth/1fd1b2b275afb40f?ean=9780593850633&next=t&next=t&affiliate=2186&prhc=PRHEFFDF5A7F1. At this point, there is only one version, so we will all have the same pagination! Hurray!

Pilgrim Way Salon: Desire, Rivalry, and the Hidden Logic of Human Violence—Engaging the work of René Girard
Saturday, May 2, 2026
12:30 AM
Pilgrim Way Salons 6:30p–9pm | Drinks & Appetizers to Start Suggested donation: $10 What makes a life worth living? What does it mean to seek what is good, beautiful, and true? Once a month, we gather around these questions—not to debate, but to dwell. Our Pilgrim Way Salons are curated evenings of conversation, hospitality, and reflection hosted in a welcoming space, with drinks and light fare to begin. "What’s a salon?" It’s not just a haircut—or a fancy term. Historically, salons were intimate gatherings in homes where people explored big ideas through civil, spirited conversation. That’s what we’re reclaiming. Each evening features a guest speaker or expert voice, followed by guided dialogue and generous Q&A. Whether you’re skeptical, spiritual, curious, or convicted, come pull up a chair. There’s room at the table. ------------------- Salon: Desire, Rivalry, and the Hidden Logic of Human Violence—Engaging the work of René Girard with Caleb Maskell, PhD Princeton University We live in an age of unprecedented connection and unprecedented conflict. Political enemies, culture wars, social media crescendos—we seem hardwired to divide into sides and find someone to blame. But what if that's not a bug in human nature? What if it's the operating system? French philosopher and Stamford literature professor René Girard spent fifty years developing one of the most unsettling and clarifying ideas of the 20th century: that human desire is fundamentally imitative, rivalry is its inevitable shadow, and scapegoating is how every human community—from families to nations—holds itself together. Temporarily. Join us at a Pilgrim Way salon for an evening of good food, honest conversation, and genuinely big questions. We'll dig into Girard's thought and ask what it reveals about how we live, what we want, and explore the question: is there a way out of the rivalry cycle? To best prepare for this conversation, familiarize yourself with the key concepts in Girard's work: Bare Minimum: "Why We Want What We Want" (58 minute podcast interview): https://entitled-opinions.com/2005/09/16/rene-girard-why-we-want-what-we-want/ Ideal: "Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard" (90 minute documentary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-vB1HaBsog Deep Dive: "The Scapegoat: René Girard's Anthropology of Violence and Religion" (5 part interview with David Cayley): https://www.davidcayley.com/podcasts/tag/Ren%C3%A9+Girard
