Sans smoky air, rowdy bar patrons and loud music, close to 200 people filled Stonehouse Pub, 11012 Jasper Ave., to standing room only on Aug. 19.

Beer or other inebriating beverages were not tops on patrons' order lists. Though most of them had something to drink, what they really came for was the "theology on tap."

This was the scene at the pub for four consecutive Tuesday nights since July 29. Young adults gathered to listen and discuss various issues in the world that demand and calls for a faith perspective with theological experts.

This program is not new, but unheard of before in Edmonton.

The idea behind the series is to take theology where young people live and play. It started in Chicago in 1981 as a way to reach out to young people at universities and colleges during the summer break.
