First Tuesday Book Club
This monthly book discussion, which is dedicated to examining the ethical and social issues facing Christians today, is currently on hiatus.
The Adult Education Council launched the book club as a forum for thinking Christians and others to wrestle with the complexities of living as faithful people in today’s confusing world.
The most recently discussed books include Father Abraham’s Many Children by Tyler Mayfield; Tears We Cannot Stop by Michael Eric Dyson; and Interfaith Leadership by Eboo Patel
