The Misunderstood Jew copyTuesday 1st April, 12.30-2.30 at LCI
Lunchtime Conversations is a book club for theological books. On the first Tuesday of each month a group of between 10 and 20 people from different theological backgrounds meet in LCI’s library to discuss a particular title over a bite to eat.
