Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email thegppc@gmail.com to ask which discussion group suits you, or go to the next in person Philosophy of Religion meeting at Barbelin 116, Saint Joseph's University, on a Wednesday at 7:30 pm..
What to expect
Each group meets once a month in the evening and talks through a text the group names ahead of time, so reading it first helps. The page does not give a fee, say how long a meeting runs, or say who usually comes.
Tips for your first visit
- Read the text the group names before you come.
- For the in person group, email the contact first to confirm the room, since the page gives no directions.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Discussion groups are public and listed with places and times, and each has a named contact to ask about joining. The page does not say beginners are welcome..
