April 2011 Meeting of the WPACS

The upcoming April 14th meeting of the WPACS will be a continuation of our discussion on Distributism. The "reading" for the meeting will consist of a "B.Y.O.D." (Bring Your Own Distributism). By this, I mean for you to read/research the aspect of Distributism that is most curious, challenging, illusive, or simply interesting to you. Come to the meeting and (if you are willing) share BRIEFLY what you've learned along your Distributism learning curve. The resource lists that were handed out at our Feb. meeting may be helpful. If you would like those resource pages sent to you as pdf. files, feel free to send an email to chestertonwpa@zoominternet.net. Meanwhile, I hope you are finding yourself a copy of "The Ball and the Cross" and getting ready to read it for the May meeting!
