"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 11 Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society

Greetings Fellow WPA Chestertonians,

At our August meeting this coming Friday, we will wrap up our summer reading with selections from G.K. Chesterton's essay compilation A Miscellany of Men. We will read and discuss the essays "The Man Who Thinks Backwards", "The Voter and the Two Voices", and "The Devine Detective". Please bring copies or access to online sources of these essays to the meeting.  

At the meeting we will hear about the recent American Chesterton Society conference, and discuss the opportunity for a memorial donation to the ACS in honor of our friend Muna Pavlik, who recently passed away.

Next month at our September meeting we will begin our reading of Chesterton's great biography of St. Francis of Assisi.

As usual our 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 potluck refreshments , with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up sometime around 9:30pm.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to email me at wpachesterton@gmail.com
