Drop-in discussions are held each Sunday preceding church services, except during summer, in the adult lounge on the second floor of our church. Sometimes our discussions are based on certain books or articles, but you don’t have to read anything or do any advance preparation to participate. Discussions are at 9:15 a.m and 12 noon unless otherwise indicated.  People of all viewpoints are welcome to make presentations or join in the discussions. Here is the September schedule of discussion topics.

September 12: Working America.  Phil Ebersole will lead a discussion about how working people are faring in today’s United States, drawing on The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker, by Steven Greenhouse.

September 19: Half the Sky. Phil Ebersole will do a presentation and lead a discussion on the worldwide struggle to defend the human rights of women, drawing on Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.

September 26:  Reaching Zero.  Is abolition of nuclear weapons worldwide a feasible goal?  Is it a desirable one? Talva Chapin will discuss, drawing on an article by Jonathan Schell in The Nation.  The URL for the article is <http://www.thenation.com/article/reaching-zero>.

If you have a topic you’d like discussed or, better still, would like to lead a discussion, speak to Phil Ebersole or David Damico.
