Did the Founders Want a Religious America?
presented by Philip Jenkins.
As we celebrate the first 250 years of the United States of America, we ask the question: did the Founders want a religious America? Religion was actually “established” in most states deep into the nineteenth century. What about the constitution? Join us for this historical perspective of religion in America.”

The Book Group will meet MONDAY *, March 23, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 324 to discuss Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.
“Theo of Golden is the endearing story of a curious old man who quietly moves into a southern city and, for reasons unknown to anyone but himself,
undertakes a campaign of anonymous generosity. Theo’s love for people, combined with his fondness for books, art, birds, and story, unite in a colorful expression of outreach and affection. Stories are shared, friendships are born, and lives, in response to his inexplicable kindness, are affirmed and transformed.” (The Rabbit Room Store)
The Book Group is open to all and newcomers and guests are always welcome.
* Please note this is a change from our usual Tuesday meeting day.
