Salty Questions

First Thursdays, 10/1–1/7
7 pm
Zoom

“You are the salt of the earth,” Jesus said, “but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?” In answer to Jesus’ call to be that hopeful presence in the world, and continuing in his tradition of asking challenging questions, First Pres Berkeley will host a series of candid interviews with interesting people—writers, thinkers, faithful doers—throughout 2026–2027.

Join Parish Associate Jeff Chu as he engages these important conversations—and come ask your own questions.
