Our usual meeting place at the Birtell household has suffered significant water damage due to a broken water pipe. As a result, we are unable to host our meetings there for the time being. Moving forward, we will be organizing our meetings at various locations, and we kindly request that you check our website for updates on the venues for these events.
Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, our interview with Marcus Rediker, scheduled for 7/23, has been canceled. However, we are pleased to announce that our book club events over the summer will resume with the discussion on "Jesus and John Wayne" on 7/30. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing our engaging discussions in the new settings.
Additionally, Fall gatherings will resume in September and will be moved to Monday nights. More info coming soon.

Marcus Rediker was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1951, to Buford and Faye Rediker, the first of their two sons. His family has roots in the mines and factories of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia; he grew up in Nashville and Richmond. He attended Vanderbilt University, dropped out of school and worked in a factory for three years, and graduated with a B.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1976. He went to the University of Pennsylvania for graduate study, earning an M.A. and Ph.D. in history.
Marcus taught at Georgetown University from 1982 to 1994, lived in Moscow for a year (1984-5), and is currently Distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. He has, over the years, been active in a variety of social justice and peace movements, including the worldwide campaign to abolish the death penalty.

7/30/2023 - Book Study: "Jesus and John Wayne" by Kristin Kobes Du Mez
|
This is an atypical read for our group. This was chosen as a strong discussion piece. Many of our group members have not been exposed to the liberal Christian movement and this book will prove to be very informative. It is important to read books we both agree and disagree with.
Order a $5 book RSVP for this event |
8/20/2023 - Book Study: "Knowing God" by J.I. Packer
|
Knowing God is a classic in Christian circles. We chose this book to ground us in solid theological ideas following the cultural study in July.
Order a $5 book RSVP for this event |
