MEDIA AND GRAPHICS IN THE CONGREGATION

This seminar begins its eleventh year this fall. Participants discuss assigned readings on the nature of social ethics, which would advance human welfare, and on scientific methodology as the source of provisional truth about the universe and its denizens. Analytic thinking, rather than recall, is the modus operandi. One can enter the seminar at any time. The only expense is the purchase of assigned books from time to time. Days: Second and Fourth Sunday Time: 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Location: Conference Room Contact: Diana Goodrow, Julie Moore.

The Thursday morning book group, which reads non-fiction, continues to be well-attended by a interesting group of readers who enjoy lively discussions. Our members are from the communities of Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo and Ojai. It is an open group.
Please feel free to drop in for a single session (even if you have not read our current book) or come regularly. All are welcome.
We read mostly non-fiction. We are now reading Upheaval by Jared Diamond and recently read The War On Normal People by Andrew Yang and Frederick Douglass, by Blight.
All of these excellent books lead to some good dialogue.
Days: Every Thursday
Time: 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
