The Catholic Church basement in St Ignatius…the place where I attended many bingos, which were head and shoulders above anything else I attended church for in terms of fun. The cold hard seats, the old-school cards with the little sliding window to mark your spot, and of course I never remember winning, which is eerily similar to my bingo experiences today 🤷🏽‍♂️

Happy to be here after a recommendation from your friend Chris. Happy to hear about your flickers too! I'm a 'reformed atheist' and have run a Buddhist temple for 8 years - not at all where I expected to be! For me, spirituality at its best just points us towards the beauty that is already there - in ourselves, in the world - whilst not flinching from acknowledging the suffering... And I do like the sound of those potlucks!!
