Normal Talk

Bringing Athens together for healthy community discourse

Is Democracy Failing?

October 8 – Normal Bar – 7:30 p.m.

Normalizing Conversation

Established in 2017 by Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church of Athens, Normal Talk is about bringing people together. 

Its about creating space for speech. Its about giving people with different lives, belief systems, struggles, and hopes the opportunity to talk about the issues of our day and age in a safe and constructive environment. 

It's about finding healthy ways to talk about a broken world.

Normal Questions

While Normal Talk was started by a church, it's welcome to all – churched and non-churched alike. To keep the event as accessible as possible, we also do our best to make every event free—all you need to bring is an open mind.

We want to create a space where anyone can speak their mind, ask questions, and be heard.

Come one.

Come all.

Normal Knowledge

Past speakers have included world-renowned scholars, celebrated authors, and some of the Athens community's hardest-working local volunteers. They're there to provide insight and experience that can help us parse through the topics that might bug or confuse us. 

You're there to pick their brains.
