Big questions café is a friendly, fun gathering at Jesmond URC where we first share a meal and get to know others around our table. Then, just after we get pudding, we hear a 15-20 minute presentation addressing one of the big questions facing our lives and community. We’re then invited to discuss a series of questions arising from the presentation around our tables, digging deeper. There’s opportunities to engage with the speaker as well.

It’s a collaboration between a church and a community library to promote community cohesion. It’s not about promoting religion or trying to get people to think how ‘we’ do. It’s about bringing neighbours together for good food, big questions, and deep conversation. That’s it. And you’re welcome here.
