September Meeting

It was an enjoyable to change the format of the meeting in August and watch a video of Dr. Dermot Quinn speaking at the Beaconsfield Chesterton Conference.  We will also be doing something a little different for our September and October meeting: reading a non-Chesterton work, The Great Heresies by Hilaire Belloc.

The link I've included above is a pdf version of the page found on the EWTN site.  It will be easier to keep track of quotes and such if we all follow this edition for our meeting, but there is also a site that has the text files of the book, but the formatting is not very good.  There is no free Kindle edition (though one is available for $.99, and isn't that G.B. Shaw pictured with that edition?), nor is there an edition available through Project Gutenberg, and of course, you can always get ahold of a print copy from a bookstore or the library.

So, his dictis, we will read the the introductory materials and the first two heresies--the Arians and the "Great and Enduring" heresy of Mohamed.  We'll meet on September 7 at 7:00 PM.

August Meeting

The next meeting will be on Sunday, July 27 (this is our August meeting) at 7:00 PM.  We will be watching a video of a talk by Dr Dermot Quinn on ’Wholeness and Holiness’ from the Beaconsfield Chesterton Conference.  You can also listen to an audio version.  The video is about 53 minutes long.

Thanks to Mike for providing the links.

The New GKC Biography

From Ellen Finan from the next Society to the east:

This is a good read. It goes beyond the standard book review and makes some interesting points of its own. Also brings in what other literary critics have to say about GKC, including Harold Bloom.
