WELCOME TO AN

inquisitive and nourishing community.

Looking for people who you can explore and discuss interesting topics with?

Think Again and Faith Again each meet every other month and attract a wide range of folks from diverse backgrounds. From intelligent teens to aged sages to Phd's and, and like me, with no degree. We have atheists, and true believers and everything in between.

Each discussion is lead by a thought-leader or explorer of the particular topic chosen.

Whether you come to a Think Again or Faith Again discussion you will find a safe place where good-hearted thinking people can explore as well as share their ideas, questions, and experiences.

Think Again explores secular topics while Faith Again delves into themes related to spiritual and religious belief—most often in relation to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its history, doctrines, culture, and practices. Faith Again usually meets the first Friday evening of the month. Think Again typically the first Thursday. Think again one month, and Faith Again the next. But depending on the presenters, dates move around. It is best to sign up for the email alerts of when we meet and what we will discuss so that you don't miss out.
