Drinking your religion

Theology in a Bottle

The physical world is a demanding place. Sometimes contemplating the celestial realms can lead to more mental strain than desired. It doesn’t have to be like this. You can find relaxation and some spiritual depth at the Sacramento State Newman Center, a church run predominately by college students. The center offers free yoga on Monday nights, for students and nonstudents, for the religious and the nonreligious, in a friendly, nonpushy environment. Also, once a week, students and young adults gather for “Theology in a Bottle,” a session in which everyone drinks a little—or a lot—and discusses religion. Sometimes the discussion is guided, and sometime it is a free-for-all, but it’s always calm and stimulating. Theology in a Bottle is also free, but feel free to pitch in a couple bucks for booze and food. 5900 Newman Court, www.sacnewman.org.
