Are you interested in reading books that offer perspectives different from traditional, mainstream Christian authors? Join us for a new reading and discussion experience!
Inspired by author Sarah Bessey’s 2020 Field Notes Book Club, we read “books that help to form us more into the image of Jesus for the sake of the world written by exclusively BIPOC (black, indigenous, and/or people of colour) authors.”
You may choose to read each book and come to all six meetings, or pick the ones that interest you and fit with your schedule.
The first book is The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama with Douglas Carlton Abrams. Join us February 25 at 6:30 pm to discuss the book. We meet in the Grace Parlor.
Everyone is welcome! Questions? See Melissa Buteyn (englishteachmb@gmail.com). Find out more about Sarah Bessy at sarahbessey.com.
