Hurray! We seem to have assembled a summer-time quorum that will have the pleasure of meeting at Elaine and Jake’s on Tuesday, June 24, 6:30 PM.
Adding to the pleasure will be Dick Feeney leading us in discussing books related to some of the topics raised at our last meeting. In case you’ve misplaced that earlier email, here are those titles again:
Pope John XXIII, by Thomas Cahill. This was our choice (it being a mere 237 pages), but it is technically out of print. Copies are available at the library, and can probably be ordered online (let’s just say eBay or ?)
Heroes & Heretics: How Renaissance Artists & Reformation Priests Created Our World, also by Thomas Cahill (368 pages and the subject of two interviews by Bill Moyers)
Constantine’s Sword: The Church and the Jews, A History, by James Carroll (a formidable 756 pages, but like the other two, recommended by Feeney).
So, feel free to read any or all of the above (but if you read all of them the rest of us will be seriously intimidated).
Mary
