Fill up your cup of coffee or tea and join us for our popular, biweekly virtual conversation about current events facilitated by Tom Murphy and John Williams. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion.

The topic for November 23 will be Thanksgiving:

• What does Thanksgiving mean to us? Is it the most stress-free of our holidays? The least commercialized?

• As a harvest festival, is it the most easily understood of our American holidays? What do we learn from an examination of its historical origins?

• How has it changed in our own experience and how might it and Christmas, our other great seasonal holiday, evolve for us?

Register at least two days in advance. You will then be sent the Zoom link to join along with suggested readings.
