Roundtable Discussions
Roundtables are forums where we can discuss how Christian ideas and faith are related to given topics. They are often prompted by current affairs or by issues that crop up in relation to our work, but sometimes they happen 'just because'. Roundtables can be one-time events or extended over several meetings.
For this year's roundtables, please go here.
