Reading Jesus -- from Allan Campo
July 19, 2010
Dear All Souls Book Group,
Just a reminder that the meetings about Mary Gordon’s Reading Jesus: A Writer’s Encounter with the Gospels will begin this coming Monday, July 26, 7:00 p.m., in the conference room of the Warner Building. Reading Jesus is available at a discounted price at Accent on Books.
This Monday’s meeting will focus on Part I. It will be following by two further meetings:
Monday, August 9, 7:00 p.m., in the Warner Building. The meeting will focus on Part II.
Monday, August 23, 7:00 p.m., in the Warner Building. The meeting will focus on Part III and an overview of the book.
As most of you know, Emilie White, the leader of the All Souls Book
Group, is on an extended vacation. However, she will be sending along
this week some ideas and suggestions for engaging this uniquely
challenging book.
Looking ahead to Emilie’s return in mid-September, she intends to lead
the Group in the reading and discussion of three novels by Toni
Morrison, the Nobel Prize American novelist. The first of the novels
will be Sula, which is also now available at Accent on Books. It will be followed by Song of Solomon and Beloved.
Looking forward to an interesting discussion on the 26th.
Allan
