If you are a young adult interested in learning about and discussing issues involving Christian faith, in a casual relaxed atmosphere, then Theology on Tap is for you! This exciting program, sponsored by The Church of the Advent on Beacon Hill in Boston, will be serving challenging ideas from phenomenal speakers to people in their twenties and thirties, both singles and couples.

In our next series, we revisit our popular “Theology and Pop Culture: The Gospel according to …” theme with sessions on:

  • May 27

    The Gospel according to Mick Jagger

    Dr. Umit Dhuga

  • June 3

    The Gospel according to Damien Hirst

    Mr. Tyrus Clutter

    One of the most infamous and derided artists of the past 15 years, Damien Hirst first came to public attention by displaying various animals encased in large vitrines of formaldehyde. And while recent complaints have dealt more with his ostentatiousness (i.e. a human skull covered in diamonds), many miss the underlying Christian symbols and themes that permeate his work. This presentation will delve into the little discussed Christian principles that are at the foundation of Hirst's provocative works.

    Tyrus Clutter is a painter and printmaker originally from the midwest. His award-winning work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout North America and in galleries in Europe. Clutter's work can be found in many private collections as well as in the Print Collection of the New York Public Library, and the collections of the Museum of Biblical Art, and the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. From 1999–2001 he was art critic for the Boise Weekly newspaper in Boise, Idaho Tyrus currently resides in Massachusetts where he has worked as the Director of the non-profit organization Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA) since 2003.
