The Theology Book Group will meet from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the church library on Sunday, June 24th. The people who come to the Group are from a variety of religious backgrounds, and share a cornucopia of perspectives. To date, the Group has read and discussed works by historians, writers on mysticism, feminist theologians, and those working at the intersection of religion and science – and more!
​
​This Book Group is currently reading ​ A Brief Guide to Spiritual Classics, From Dark Night  of the Soul to The Power of Now, ed. James M.

Suzuki, Ram Dass, and Eckhart Tolle.
