July 19th Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society

Greetings Chestertonians,

After a hiatus of posting the meeting information on this website (thankfully, not a hiatus of our meetings), I am hopeful that going forward you will find all the pertinent information about our upcoming meetings conveniently located here. Unfortunately, Facebook has been less than helpful, as it will no longer allow links from our page to this site. I can continue to post limited meeting information there, but this "blogspot" webpage will be the place for comprehensive meeting information for the time being.

We will meet this Friday evening for the completion of Knight of the Holy Ghost. This book has proven to be a very readable overview of Chesterton's life and his writings. Please join us for the conclusion, even if you haven't been able to be a part of the discussion so far. I have copies of this book available for $13 if you know someone who needs one.

In August on the 16th, we will read and discuss two Fr. Brown mysteries; the first Fr. Brown story and the official last Fr. Brown story. We will read The Blue Cross, and The Insoluble Problem. Both of these stories are available in a number of formats, and are printed in the Penguin Book edition titled The Complete Father Brown, and can be viewed/read on Martin Ward's website linked above.

In September we will begin our Autumnal reading of The Four Faultless Felons. This book can be purchased from the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton and is available from a variety of internet sources, both new and used.

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 7:00 pm for our potluck of refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up sometime around 9:30 pm.

 *Please note: In appreciation to the municipality for allowing us to meet there free of charge, our group is running a little fund raiser to donate a baby-changing station to the Lancaster Township Community Center. There will be a small collections box at the meeting for any contributions you feel inclined to deposit there. Please consider participating in this "pro-life" expression of Chestertonian gratitude.
