Fall 2024 Reading Group
If you are interested in joining a reading group, please contact Missy at missyd57@gmail.com.
Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
This fall, we will be reading the great Wendell Berry: farmer, novelist, professor, activist. Berry’s fiction reflects the “rootedness and responsiveness” of place, and the relationships, both joyful and complex, of the humans that abide there. We will be reading Jaber Crow and one or two essays, starting in the last week of September. For more information, or to sign up, contact Missy.
819 Cathedral Place, Third Floor.
Lectio Divina
Start delayed until Spring semester
Please be patient with us: our starting date is delayed until spring due to a loss of one of our partners. Join us for lunch and a meditative reading of scripture. Lectio Divina is an ancient Christian tradition of quiet public reading and a moment of rest and thoughtfulness in the middle of busy lives. In collaboration with CCO and IVGFM.
A simple lunch will be served. Lunch is provided by Scholé House.
819 Cathedral Place, Third Floor.
Previous Reading Groups
Scholé Holds Spring Reading Group
For the first time in four years, Scholé House hosted a book group, reading Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Road. This dark and dystopian novel follows an unnamed father and son as they leave their city apartment and head towards the sea in hopes of life or at least a warmer climate. The father’s greatest ambition is survival. His son, a child of about 10, wants something more. There are few people left in this grim, post-apololyptic world, but most of those are very scary, and sometimes it’s hard to tell who the good guys are. The vivid writing, spiritual imagery, and impossible moral scenarios made for lively discussion with our participants.
We look forward to our next group!
