Fall Book Discussion Group

FALL BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

You’re invited to join a discussion of the book How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Mariann Edgar Budde on four Thursday evenings from September 25 through October 16. We’ll meet from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the church parlor. Budde, the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington D.C., explores how key decisions in our lives, if navigated with faith and discernment, pave the way for us to become our most courageous selves. She weaves stories from her own life, religious texts, the Civil Rights movement, literature, pop culture, and current events to illustrate what goes into “being brave.” Part memoir, part history, and part theological treatise, the book focuses on the virtue of courage as a choice that we make. How We Learn to be Brave is available for purchase online in various formats. At our first meeting on September 25, we’ll discuss the Introduction and Chapter 1. Please contact Carol Gates at cmgates23@gmail.com with questions or to sign up. There is also a sign-up sheet in the Gathering Area.
