Over the years that
Spirituality in the Pub has been running, we have seen growth from the first
venue at Paddington to around 30 venues all around Australia... sometimes one
closes for a time until it is reinvigorated by a new group, but most have run
continuously for years - the champion being, of course, Paddington, which
celebrated its 14th anniversary in May 2009!
By late 2007, there had
been over 1200 SIP gatherings!
Be prepared now to BE
AMAZED at the depth and breadth of SIP topics covered over the years, and by the
extraordinary range of speakers, some well known Australian voices, some
obscure, but all with something important to add to the conversation... here is
as complete a list of venues, dates, topics and speakers as we are able to
assemble!
