This could get interesting.

I saw the play "The Christians" at First Presbyterian Theater for the second time this evening.  It was every bit as intense as the first time I saw it.  It is basically the story of a pastor of a conservative Christian church who preaches a sermon saying that he doesn't believe in hell and also doesn't think only Christians go to heaven.  Not surprisingly this tears his church apart.  It's a very interesting exploration of different interpretations of some Christian scriptures. This evening I saw the play with a girlfriend and my brother, who happens to be a Methodist preacher.  Before the play started he saw an announcement in the program about a discussion of the play which will be held Wednesday evening at our church.  He has told me he wants to come, and plans to do a lot of reading and fact checking before Wednesday.  We don't get into deep theological discussions very often but I have suspected for a long time that he is more conservative in his religious beliefs than I am, which means he is more conservative than at least 50 percent of the congregation of First Pres. so the Wednesday evening discussion may be more interesting than I was expecting.  It's always good to stir things up.
