– Anselm of Canterbury
“Faith Seeking Understanding” is the name and motto of this monthly reading group on Christian Doctrine, which is extracted from Anselm of Canterbury’s words.
This group aims to discover our rich Christian Doctrine so as to equip the participants with the ability to reflect on and theologise their personal and communal faith and experiences. We will reflect on the Apostles’ Creed which is widely accepted by different denominations and covers many core theological concepts, such as Trinity, Christology, Ecclesiology, and Eschatology.
We will read Wolfhart Pannenberg’s The Apostles’ Creed in the Light of Today’s Questions together from April 2025 to March 2026. It is a classic book recording his lectures at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, which would be a good starting point for us to approach the Apostles’ Creed and relate it to our modern situation.
It is never easy to step into a new group. we intend on making it easy for you to slot into our reading circle.
Reading the book in advance is crucial for engaging in meaningful conversations. Take notes on passages that stand out to you, jot down questions, and highlight any themes or ideas you find particularly impactful
Feel free to bring light snacks or drinks to share with the group. Sharing refreshments can create a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making our gatherings not just intellectually stimulating but also socially engaging.
