"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"

May 9, 2013 Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society



Greetings all,

Please pardon my dereliction of duties in not sending out the meeting information sooner. 

We will meet tonight as usual despite the Ascension Holy Day. A good number of you have indicate that you will not be attending the meeting, however a hearty bunch have indicated that they will be coming.

The three essays for discussion from the Defense of Sanity book are as follows:
#34 The Drift from Domesticity (pg. 173) 
#51 Reflections on a Rotten Apple (pg. 260) 
#66 What is Right with the World (pg. 365)

The latest issue of the StAR has arrived for those of you who subscribed, and it is a beauty!

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. 

Please read as much of the readings as you can before the meeting.


Feel free to email me at wpachesterton@gmail.com if you have any questions about the readings or anything else.
