If you are a young adult interested in learning about and discussing issues involving Christian faith, in a casual relaxed atmosphere, then Theology on Tap is for you!

In this series we study “The Seven Deadly Sins” which features:

• September 12

  Lust Actually

  Ms. Fay Dangelo

  Sigmund Freud or Father Ted? Do these have anything in common? In fact, they do. Psychoanalytic theories of desire and Christian theology give us insights into understanding ourselves as, first and foremost, “desiring” beings. Faye takes a look at what these resources can teach us about the ‘Deadly Sin’ of ‘lust’ as ‘disordered desire.’

  Faye Bodley-Dangelo is a doctoral candidate studying Christian theology and gender theory at Harvard Divinity School.

  A Powdermilk Biscuit for the Soul: Identifying the Sin of Sloth.

  Professor David Aiken

  Unlike most of the other “deadly sins,” sloth is not so much a matter of action but of inaction. But every culpable inaction is only symptomatic of an underlying predisposition to indifference, letting things slide, not accepting a challenge, going with the flow, that may be built up over many years—even a lifetime—of not caring. So the remedy for the sin of sloth is—work harder, right? Wrong. Workaholism, restlessness, distraction, not letting up, are also symptoms of the deepest kind of inaction: Letting our capacity for contemplation—of God, and the things of God—lie fallow. The result of a culpable incapacity for contemplating the highest things is small-mindedness which besets us in this age and culture.

  Despite a wide range of interests in philosophy, theology and music; despite all of the scholarly resources of Boston College where he earned is doctorate in 1990; and despite the constant promptings of students and colleagues at Gordon College, where he would like everyone to think he is gainfully employed as a Professor of Philosophy, David Aiken drifts through life in a haze of slothful indolence, enjoying every minute of blissful inactivity.

So make sure that you're at The Harp located in the heart of North Station, directly across from FleetCenter (North Station green line. orange and purple line and just 5-minutes walk from Faneuil Hall) starting Tuesday, September 12th, 19th and 26th, at 7 PM.
