Virtual Book Community
Thursdays: 2:30-4:00 EST.
​
During the unprecedented world wide quarantine, we started this incredible community. We meet once a week and read through books together that center various aspects of justice. We invite the spectrum:
​
-
Justice Committed
-
Justice Curious
-
Justice Confused
​
After we finish each book, we bring in the author for a Community Dialogue, which is always a favorite of this community.
