TAP on Tour - Summer 2009

Join Theology and a Pub for one or both of these events this summer! Unlike our usual talks, prior registration is requested for these events, so we can make sure there is room for everyone! Please RSVP to .

Thursday, July 23 - George Tooker: A Retrospective @ the Columbus Museum of Art

Cost: $4 per person (if you can't afford it but still want to join us, come anyway - "scholarships" are available)

Where/When: Meet at 6:30pm in the lobby of the Columbus Museum of Art, 480 East Broad Street

Details: Perhaps you are familiar with the "hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable imagery" of the 20th Century American painter George Tooker - or perhaps his work is new to you. Either way, you will learn something new during this hour-long tour of sixty of his paintings and drawings at the Columbus Museum of Art. Yes, he is controversial, and we know his lifestyle wasn't always what we as Catholics strive for - but his late-in-life conversion to Catholicsim can be seen in his changing influences and themes. Learn more about the exhibit (there's even a video!).

Tuesday, August 18 - Vino Veritas II @ Wyandotte Winery

Cost: $20 per person - includes tasting of all wines, and light snacks

Where/When: 7-9pm at Wyandotte Winery, 4640 Wyandotte Drive

Details: Whether or not you were able to join us for our first Vino Veritas, this will be an evening to remember! You will have the opportunity to taste all of the wines currently in season at Wyandotte Winery, and owners Valerie and Robin Coolidge will be on hand to share some of their knowledge of wine in scripture and church tradition. A tour of the wine making facility will also be offered. This event is obviously limited to our guests 21 and older - please make sure to bring photo ID with you.

To assist with our planning, please make sure to RSVP for the event(s) you wish to attend at least 24 hours in advance. Payment may be made at the door, in cash - exact change is appreciated! Please contact with any questions.

  It’s no joke—everyone has a vocation! Some of us are called to be priests or religious, some are called to be husbands, wives, and parents, and some of us have other callings. Do you know what yours is? Tonight’s panelists will tell you how they found their place in the world and give you some thoughts on where you can find yours. We’ll hear from Sister Rita Jane, Fr. Jeff from the Vocations Office, Stephanie Jenemann from the Marriage and Family Life Office, and some other special guests —and there will be plenty of time for your questions!
• August 19, 2008, Mass Confusion: What Do I Say? When Do I Kneel?, by Deacon Tom Johnston
  Have you ever looked around during Mass and suddenly realized you’re the only one standing? Do you sometimes mumble your responses, because you’re not really sure what you’re supposed to be saying, or what it means? You’re not alone! No matter how many days, weeks, months, or years we’ve been going to Mass, we all can use a reminder of what we’re doing now and then. Deacon Tom Johnston will lead us on a guided tour of the Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral (212 East Broad Street) at 7:30—you can still meet us at Gresso’s at 6 for dinner beforehand, or just join us for the tour!
• July 15, 2008, What Do I Own, and What Owns Me?, by George Gugle
  “ANOTHER second collection this week?” We’re all feeling the burn from $4-a-gallon gas and all the other things that have gotten more expensive lately...so how do we balance the need to pay our bills with our obligation to help those less fortunate with our desire to have our choice of PS3, Wii, or Xbox 360 when we get home every night? George Gugle, Associate Director of Stewardship for the Diocese of Columbus, will have some tips.
• June 26, 2008, Do Green and Orange Have to Clash?, by Kathy and Paul Harvey
  Ah, Ireland...land of leprechauns, shamrocks, rainbows...and the IRA, tanks, bombs, and barbed wire. You think you have problems being Catholic? Wait until you hear from Kathy and Paul Harvey.
