Pub Theology: “How Social Media and a 24-hour News Cycle Shape Identity” with the Rev. Dr. Chris Girata

at Vector Brewing, 9850 Walnut Hill Ln #405, Dallas, TX 75238

Kick off this year’s Pub Theology series on Monday, June 1, with a timely and thought-provoking conversation: “How Social Media and a 24-hour News Cycle Shape Identity,” led by The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata, Rector of Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church.

In a world constantly shaped by notifications, headlines, and curated digital lives, how do these forces influence who we are—and who we believe ourselves to be? Together, we’ll explore the intersection of faith, identity, and the ever-present media landscape, reflecting on how technology shapes our understanding of self, community, and truth.

Pub Theology is a speaker and music series designed to engage the wider community in meaningful conversation. Each gathering offers theological, challenging, and thought-provoking discussion in a relaxed, welcoming pub environment—equally comfortable for parishioners, invited friends, and curious newcomers alike.

This year’s series dives into scientific and technological developments—from artificial intelligence to communications and beyond—considering how these advances invite deeper theological reflection and fresh insight into the life of faith.

Join us for the first of four Monday nights in June featuring engaging speakers, lively discussion, and yes—cold beer. Doors open at 6 p.m., the program begins at 7 p.m., and each evening includes time for Q&A.
