Dialogue events occur periodically at Holy Trinity as another component of the congregation’s desire to engage what is going on in the world from a Christian perspective.  Often held over breakfast, such dialogues occur in response to the presentation of a social commentator, cultural observer, biblical scholar, or theologian in which important concerns affecting the community of faith can be identified and explored together.
