(For Immediate Release)

SPAFER-OxfordOxford, MS :  The newest monthly RoadHouse meeting of the South Points Association for Exploring Religion (SPAFER) met today at the Unitarian Universalist Church just N/W of Oxford, MS, at 31 Buford Chapel Road with 13 people in attendance. SPAFER is a non-profit organization formed in 2000 in Birmingham, AL, to provide a forum for individuals to come together to discuss topics of religious and spiritual interest than are not discussed in the traditional Christian churches, and to do it in an accepting and non-threatening atmosphere. The Oxford RoadHouse group, which will meet monthly at the UU Church on the third Saturday of each month, joins the Tupelo and Birmingham RoadHouse Discussionn Groups. Tupelo meets on the first Saturday of each month and Birmingham on the second Saturday of each month. All three groups start with coffee and conversation from 9:30 AM with the formal program being from 10 AM until noon.

At Oxford's first meeting today a video of a 1996 PBS program from the series "Searching For God In America" featuring Charles Colson and his conversion following his 7 month prison term resulting from President Nixon's Watergate scandal and his new mission in life the Prison Fellowship Ministries. This video was followed by an hour's discussion of how it matter not whether Evangelical Fundamentalist Christianity, atheist thinking, or liberal progressive Christianity turns one life around for the better. The point is that the result of the turning and the good you accomplish is what matters.

The Oxford RoadHouse will continue with videos from the PBS Series over the next few months. You can stay in touch with all the RoadHouse activities by checking the SPAFER web site at www.spafer.org and visiting our Facebook page. Just type "spafer" into the Facebook search block.
