The weekly meetings of the Society for Critical Imagination. Creed: This club exists to promote a healthy discussion of issues pertaining to the arts (taken in the broadest sense) and the current cultural discourse from a distinctively Christ-centered theological perspective. Believing that such engagement offers more possibilities than problems, we seek to provide an atmosphere of free and rigorous inquiry and at the same time encourage creative modes of response. In this way, we have committed ourselves to helping each other develop a higher degree of criticality in a Christian discernment of the world at large.
