Christianity, Literature, Music and the Arts
 

Throughout history, Christian faith has been reflected, interpreted and enriched by artists, writers of fiction, poets, and musicians.  The purpose of this small group is to sample contributions from literature, music, and the arts, and reflect on the meanings they may hold for enhancing our understanding of our faith and life.  We have made visits to art museums in Detroit and Ann Arbor, and enjoyed moments of fellowship and discussion afterwards.  We spent an evening of discussion and review of Shakespeare's play Othello, and later went together to the presentation of the play at the Power Center.  We have spent evenings of discussion on current books.  For example, we read God's Secretaries, about the King James translation of the Bible and a current books on Islam.  We also spent fascinating evenings watching classic movies such as "Babbette's Feast."  The topics and issues covered and the events in which we have participated have varied with the interests of members and available resources. 

We will meet on Sunday evening, September 25 at 7 p.m. at the home of Jane & Marty Maehr, 15 Haverhill Ct., Ann Arbor.  Anyone interesting in joining this stimulating and collegial group is invited to come with ideas or suggestions for events and activities in the 2005-06 season.
