Book Study
Center Book Study
Welcome to the Center Book Study, where we read and reflect upon books that challenge us to live out our call to formation, justice and peace!
Current Study
We will begin our next book study in September.
Do you have a suggestion of a book to read together?

Who We Are
Our Book Study is an informal community of readers led by Center Advisory Board member Gregory Thompson or Peace Talks Host Vanessa Sadler.
What We Do
We gather around a book we have selected for its relevance to the Center’s focus on growing in love of God, neighbor, and self. Our studies last anywhere from four to eight weeks, depending on the book. We connect once a week on Zoom for 90 minutes, typically in the evening. Many of our members also participate in the Center Community Group, a more general space for connection and peer-based learning.
