A Book Study: Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer
"For those of us who want to see democracy survive and thrive-and we are legion-the heart is where everything begins: that grounded place in each of us where we can overcome fear, rediscover that we are members of one another, and embrace the conflicts that threaten democracy as openings to new life for us and for our nation."
- from the "Prelude" in Parker J. Palmer's Healing the Heart of Democracy
Join us for this four-week series on Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer, featuring short videos as our entrance into the discussion. Dates are October 14th, 21st, and 28th, 6:00 pm -7:30 pm
Co-Sponsored by All Saints' Episcopal Church, the Greater Arkansas Interfaith Network, and Building Bridges for the Common Good.

Noah will also speak briefly about his experiences at the 2018 Lutheran Summer Music camp during his recital.
Lutheran Summer Music (LSM) is sponsoring this event and young people are especially encouraged to attend. LSM offers 2 or 4 week summer camp sessions for students in grades 8-12. This unique camp combines opportunities for worship and music. Students have opportunities to participate in band, choir, orchestra, musical theatre, handbell choir, jazz ensemble, chamber music, composition and private instrument study (including pipe organ). Daily Morning and Evening Prayer services and Festival Worship on Sundays are cornerstones of the LSM experience. In addition, students participate in several field trips to local places of interest. The upcoming LSM sessions will happen in July, 2019 on the campus of Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, IN.
Smith is in his senior year at Russellville High School. A proud member of the Cyclone Band, he earned All Region and All State honors this year in both Concert and Jazz Bands. He is a life-long member of All Saints, where he sings in the Adult Choir and serves as Assistant Organist. He plays Principal Bassoon in the Arkansas Symphony Youth Orchestra and has earned the rank of Life in Boy Scouts.
