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!
