Worldly Wisdom: Great Books and the Meaning of Life. James Sloan Allen has created a humanist approach to the Great Books. "Worldly wisdom is made up of good ideas and useful humanism that help us understand our lives and give meaning to them in this world." The book, Worldly Wisdom, is a series of commentaries that follow human wisdom from Homer's Iliad to the works of Sartre and Martin Luther King.

Leader Richard Kiniry will facilitate this class. The meetings are planned for the second Tuesday of the month, so next class is Tuesday, February 9 at 7:30 PM. This month we will be discussing Dante's Inferno. Read as much as you can and come with comments and questions.

Thursday Night Talkies in February

War Child
This film by Karim Chrobog is the story of Emmanuel Jal's change from a child soldier at age 7 to an internationally acclaimed hip-hop artist with a peaceful message. The film is a must for anyone interested in social justice: a dire warning about what could happen on our soil if we let our society crumble, but also extremely beautiful and moving in its music, which is a testament to the transformative power of art.
Movie, discussion, popcorn & pop.
Thursday, February 18, 7:00 PM.
