The Book Discussion Group is working on a book titled, "The Origin of Others" by the late author, Toni Morrison. America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. It's a small book of her lectures on those themes. The book cost $18.00. The group will meet in the corner of the Fireside Room during the Sunday School hour (10:00 a.m.) except on Fellowship Forum Sundays. Newcomers always welcome.
