Delmar

Good News and Cold Brews at the Warbler Brewery (155 Dela­ware Ave.) at 7 p.m. Young adults (18-39) are invited for a night of beers and scripture! During this event, Shawn Allen will review the meaning of Exegesis and model the practice on Paul’s Leaven Allegory (1 Corinthians 5:6-8). Shawn is an ecclesial minister, theology teacher and UAlbany PhD student of philosophy. Attendees will be invited to try this academic skill for themselves as we dive into the meaning of words, their translations and how they impact the way we interpret texts. If you’re seeking to add more nuance to your understanding of scripture, if you’re curious about this fascinating approach to deep reading, or if you like good beer and non-alcoholic beverages, we warmly welcome you to join us!
