A new program for young adults is debuting in Central Arkansas. Theology on Tap, a national program for Catholics 21 to 39 years old, will be meeting in different pubs and social settings in May.
The program began in the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1981 and is now overseen by Renew International. The Central Arkansas program was initiated and funded by Little Rock Scripture Study.
