DC’s Summer Theology on Tap Six Pack, Living in the City 2.0 concludes with David Bereit, the National Director of 40 Days for Life. The evening begins with happy hour at 6:30 and the talk will follow at 7:30. Following the Q&A period, we’ll draw the winner of the iPad 2!

David Bereit became an outspoken pro-life advocate after Planned Parenthood announced plans to build an abortion clinic in his Texas town in 1998. He helped to start and build a local grassroots coalition that rallied 60 churches and thousands of people together and dramatically reduced abortions in the region. In 2005 he moved to Washington, DC where he served as executive director of American Life League and national director of Stop Planned Parenthood until being asked to lead the national 40 Days for Life campaign. His pro-life work has been featured in the media hundreds of times, including coverage on Fox News, HBO, ABC, NBC and CBS television stations, numerous radio programs, and in over 100 newspapers across the country including USA Today, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times. David and his wife Margaret have two children.

Theology on Tap is a program of the Office of Young Adult Ministry that reaches out to young adults interested in exploring the role of faith in their daily lives. Held at Ireland’s Four Fields (3412 Connecticut Ave., NW - just one block south of the Cleveland Park Metro), Theology on Tap provides an opportunity to explore your faith and mix and mingle with young adults from across the DC metro area.
