January Book Discussion

The book discussion is postponed and will likely reconvene on Sunday, February 11th after the Annual Meeting when the books have been received.  At that time  we will be discussing The Book of Common Prayer: A Biography by Alan Jacobs. This book is an excellent overview of the book that is not only a foundational part of our worship life as Anglicans, but also one of the most important books in the English language.
