Magdalene Ministries visit the Cohort this month

The Cohort is back this Thursday: from 11:30-1:30!
Becca Stevens will be joining us to talk about what she is doing with Magdalene House/Thistle Farms, an organization she began to help girls trapped in sex work to get off the streets and make a different life for themselves. Even if you've heard Becca before I dare you not to be moved;)

Call in your lunch orders by 10:30am to ((615) 259-3039) if you can. The menu can be found here under the "Food" tab (http://www.beerknurd.com/stores/nashville)

Dangerous Christmas!

Greetings everyone,

11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

Topic: We'll attempt to reconstruct the history of Christmas from it's subversive roots in the Bible to it's syncretized expressions in Rome and beyond. Then, we'll discuss how Christmas can again be dangerous in our own time of empire.

What Are You Wondering This Month

Greetings everyone,
The Nashville Cohort reconvenes this Thursday, November 6 from 11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

This month we're spending time exploring the things we are all "wondering" right now in our lives with God. Our experience of Jesus following in Nashville's culture is unique and often produces interesting revelations and reflections. These are the sessions where we honor that process and share our considerations.

Come with some of your freshest wondering and we'll spend out time discussing that, or anything else that tickles our fancy this Thursday.

Call in your lunch orders by 10:30am to ((615) 259-3039) if you can. The menu can be found here under the "Food" tab (http://www.beerknurd.com/stores/Nashville)

my book signing...

Hey Cohort Friends,

This is the first time I've written a post on the blog, and sadly, it's a completely selfish one. I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow (October 14) at 7 p.m. I'll be doing a reading and signing of Churched at Davis-Kidd in Green Hills.

I'd love to see you there, if you're able!

Thanks so much...

Matthew

Faith and Politics this Thursday at the Cohort

Hey everyone,
The Nashville Cohort reconvenes tomorrow from 11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

We'll be discussing the mission of God as it relates to the politics in the United States using Shane Claiborne's "Jesus for President" as our jumping off point.
It would also behoove us all to take at look at yesterday's Tennessean and note the article about 33 pastors who planned to intentionally endorse a candidate from the pulpit yesterday. Each of these sources will provide us plenty to talk about on Thursday.

Call in your lunch orders by 10:30am to ((615) 259-3039) if you can. The menu can be found here under the "Food" tab.

Finally,
Shane Claiborne will actually be in town this week (we tried to get him to meet with us and he didn't have time) and is speaking at several venues.
Below is a list. Visit each venues website for specifics. Check him out if you get the chance!

Monday, 9/29: Lipscomb University, 8pm.
Tuesday, 9/30: Westminster Presbyterian, 7:30-9:00
Wednesday, 10/1: Belmont University, 10am.

Peace,
Dixon
