When Wine Meets Soul Care
Join Gisela Kreglinger and Jeff Greenman on Thursday, March 27, for a lunchtime conversation about wine as a gift from God. The discussion will centre on what it means to develop a healthy and wholesome relationship with wine and alcohol.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Wine is the most talked-about food in the Bible, but has the Christian community neglected this important biblical theme and fragrant gift from God? In her most recent book, Cup Overflowing, and video series, "Wine in the Word," Gisela invites us into an exploration of wine's place in the Bible, in the history of the church, and in the church's feasting and fellowship today. Please join us for an engaging conversation in Room 100 at noon.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gisela Kreglinger grew up on a winery in Franconia, Germany, where her family has been crafting wine for many generations. She holds an MCS in New Testament and a ThM in Spiritual Theology from Regent College and a PhD in historical theology from the University of St Andrews. She teaches Christian spirituality in the academy, in churches, on her annual wine pilgrimages, and every time an opportunity opens up around the dinner table—preferably with a glass of well-crafted wine to inspire her musings on food, faith, and the importance of cultivating joy and conviviality. Gisela is the author of Cup Overflowing: Wine’s Place in Faith, Feasting and Fellowship (2024), The Spirituality of Wine (2016), and The Soul of Wine (2019), and co-author of a video series called “Wine in the Word” (2025).
