"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"

December 20th Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society


Greetings WPA Friends of G.K.Chesterton,

Please join us the month as we keep our December tradition of preparing for Christmas by reflecting on the birth if Christ through a Chestertonian lens.

Some of our group are planning to meet for dinner at a local restaurant before the meeting. We will then join with anyone who chooses to attend only the meeting at the Community center at 7:30 for a Chesterton sized portion of festivity.

The evening's agenda this year will include reading excerpts from Chesterton's writings reflecting on the person of the Virgin Mary and her role in the Incarnation, along with selections of Christmas poetry written by both Gilbert and Frances.

**I will bring a limited number of copies of the reading selections to the meeting, but would ask that if you know you will be attending, (and have access to a printer beforehand,) please email me a request for the pdf. documents so you can print them out for yourself ahead of time.**

Please bring contributions to the festivities. Any snacks, desserts, pastries, fruits, cheeses, charcuterie, savories, or festive beverage contributions will be greatly appreciated. Coffee, teas and paper products/tableware will be provided.

The meeting will wrap up sometime around 10:00 pm.

Please email me as soon as possible (wpachesterton@gmail.com) if you plan to come to the meeting only. This will allow me to forward you further pertinent details.
