Book Club: Intro to Thomas Merton on Thursday

This week, we will start a new book, so this is a great chance to join in the group. We will be reading Thomas Merton’s classic New Seeds of Contemplation, which was originally written as a response to a college student’s question, “What is contemplation?” and is one of Merton’s most widely read books.

The discussion will begin on Thursday, September 3 at 7 PM with a general introduction to Merton and his life. The following Thursday (Sep. 10) we will discuss chapter 1-4 of the book.
