The Religion and Music Reading Group
When?
10:00 – 11:15am. Feel free to arrive a little late or leave a bit early if you need to.
Where?
At the Center for Religion and the Human—1211 E Atwater Ave
How does it work?
Readings will be posted online in the coming days. Prepare ahead as best you can and come ready to discuss/listen/learn together. The readings are generally short and digestible, though no less evocative. Snacks and drinks will be served!
