Holy Cross Coalition for a Beloved Community is hosting monthly book parties as part of a social justice education initiative to discover more about poverty and homelessness in Durham.
Parishioners are asked to purchase the book, When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America by Kevin Adler and Donald Burnes and gather to read and discuss the book at the book party. (Note: an audio edition of the book is available at audible.com. (Bring headphones if using the audio book.)
Participants in the book parties can bring floor pillows, camping chairs, and blankets to get comfortable to read or they can sit at an available table to read for thirty to forty minutes. After the reading session, participants join discussion groups to talk about the book. Snacks will be served.
All book parties start at 11 AM and end at 12:30 PM. They take place in the Holy Cross Parish Hall (Multipurpose Room).
