Highlands United Church is hosting a Philosopher's Cafe as a forum for discussing contemporary ideas, events and discoveries in a Christian or philosophical context. The sessions are held roughly monthly on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 and consist of a presentation followed by discussions in a small-group format. Topics for the Cafe are chosen for their relevance to the human condition in the broadest sense. For further information contact David Boal (boal@sfu.ca), Stephen Beaton (stephen.beaton@highlandsunited.org) or visit the Highlands United website. All are welcome to join in.
