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 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
