Café Inquiry (Muskegon) – Behind the Christmas Myth
December 8, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Live Meeting Only!
In Person Meeting Address – Rake Beer Project – 794 Pine St, Muskegon, MI 49442
It’s that time of year again! Yep, mangers, magi, sheep and unaccommodating innkeepers abound! But is there any basis for this story other than 2 contradictory accounts in the New Testament, neither of which matches the traditional Christmas pageant story? Join us LIVE in person at our final meeting of 2022 as we take a look at the Christmas myth, how it conflicts with the historical record, how it came to be and why it is we celebrate Jesus’ birthday on December 25, along with whatever other topics happen to come up! This month we’re meeting at Rake Beer Project in Muskegon (address above). They only serve beer, but you’re welcome to bring in outside food and/or nonalcoholic beverages. Inside entrance is downstairs and to the rear, or enter from the rear of the building.
Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.
Café Inquiry (Muskegon) meets each month on the second Thursday.
