Religion

[close] This is a low pressure book club is for readers who want to step outside the usual reading lane. We focus on novels that explore marginalized voices and offer perspectives from different cultures, religions, identities, and parts of the world. The goal isn't to "read perfectly" or have the smartest take, it is to increase your understanding of different voices! We'll explore all different genres, and it's totally ok if you don't read all of our books. Thank you for considering joining this group! Possible reads: Black stories, women’s stories, LGBTQ+, Indigenous voices, Disabled perspectives, Immigrant & refugee stories, Mixed-race/multicultural identities, Religious minorities, class & poverty

[close] I've noticed that many GoodReads members enjoy reading Amish fiction but we have nowhere to discuss our love for these novels. So here's a group where we can talk about why we like these books, recommend new authors, swap stories about the Amish way of life and anything else that interests us. Everyone is welcome to join!

[close] For the Love of Reading — All Books Welcome 💕 Welcome to Lit & Lovely, a stylish space for book lovers who believe reading is always in fashion. Whether you're into swoon-worthy romances, twisty thrillers, powerful memoirs, or literary gems, there's a spot for you here. We celebrate all genres, all stories, and the joy of getting lost in a good book. Our club is all about connection, conversation, and cultivating a love for reading in a fun, supportive, and fabulous community. Each month, we’ll pick a book to dive into together — but you're always free to read at your own pace and bring your own favorites to the discussion. ✨ Come for the books, stay for the vibes. ✨ Let’s get lit — and stay lovely.

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.
