Leave the inbox, get some insight

Looking for a chance to step back from the week and think more deeply about God’s saving work? Welcome to Theology After 5, a relaxed yet stimulating series designed for anyone who wants to explore profound theological themes after their workday. Our new course, The Body of Christ – 1 Corinthians and the Church, begins on Tuesday, 17th February and continues for 6 weeks. Open to anyone willing to engage in thoughtful theological reflection.

What Is Theology After 5?

Theology After 5 makes rich theological discussions accessible to everyone. Whether you’re considering formal study or simply curious about Christian thought, this series offers an inviting space to explore, ask questions, and think deeply—without pressure or prerequisites.

Why “The Body of Christ – 1 Corinthians and the Church”?

What is the Church?  A simple question with surprisingly complex answers.

Using St Paul’s first letter to the Church in Corinth, this six-week course explores the nature and purpose of the Christian Church.

We look at ideas about the Church from scripture and Christian history.  We consider the sacraments, leadership and structures, and the liturgy to see what they can tell us.

What’s Involved?

The hope for our time together is great conversation, not a lecture. Each week you’ll prepare with 1–2 hours of reading or video content before the session. This material will lay the groundwork for lively in-person discussions and activities. The more you prepare, the more you’ll get out of it.

Weekly Sessions

– Start date: Tuesday, 21st of October
– Schedule: Feb 17, 24; Mar 3, 10, 17, 24
– Time: 5:30–7pm
– Location: The Anglican Centre, 95 Tuam St
– Cheese, crackers, and hot/cold drinks available from 5pm

Each session builds on the last, so regular attendance is encouraged—but don’t worry if you miss a week; you’ll still be able to join in.

Who Can Join?

Absolutely anyone! Whether you have years of theological study or are just starting to ask questions, Theology After 5 is for you. All you need is curiosity and willingness to engage. Please send us a message if cost is a barrier.
