"I still hold that it is the main earthly business of a human being to make his home...
as symbolic and significant to his own imagination as he can;
whether the home be in Notting Hill or Nicaragua, in Palestine or in Pittsburgh."-G.K.Chesterton, "The Artistic Side"

August 8, 2013 Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society


Greetings Chestertonians,

Our August 8th meeting will consist of Chestertonian poetry selections that each attendee will select and bring to share with the group. Here is a link to an internet page where some of Chesterton's poetry is available to read and to print. If you are so inclined, there are also books of poetry by Gilbert and poems penned by his wife Francis available for sale on the internet, both new and used. The Ignatius Press Collected Works Vol. 10 (a group of 3 books) is available for sale from the American Chesterton Society bookstore with a discount offered to ACS members.

As usual, the meeting will be held in the Village of Middle Lancaster, at the Lancaster Township Community Center located on Kings Alley and Community Center Drive, in Butler County PA. Kings Ally is a right turn off of Rt. 19N, approx. 4.5 miles north of Zelienople, just past the Zion Lutheran Church. (The Community Center is a former one room school house, adjacent to the ball fields at Bauder Park.) The doors will open at 7:00pm for pot luck refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up around 9:30pm.
