Lunch ‘N Learn: Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason
| February 10, 2012 | ||
| 12:00 PM | to | 1:00 PM |
The Rev. Barbara E. Senecal-Davis
In 2006, Bill Moyers talked with some of the voices at the PEN World Voices Festival about their struggles with faith and reason. While much has transpired in the public conversation about faith and reason in the last five years, the writers Mr. Moyers talked to then continue to write and wrestle with these issues. During this lunchtime series, participants will watch one of Bill Moyer’s interviews with a selected writer and then discuss the issues of faith and reason raised in the interview. Please bring your own lunch. The group meets in the library for these adventurous discussions.
On February 10, we’ll watch Bill Moyers interview Margaret Atwood, who has published more than 40 books of fiction, nonfiction, criticism and poetry over the past four decades, including her first novel, The Edible Woman (1969), which addressed themes of gender relations and women’s social roles that would inform much of her work; and her most famous novel, The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), which won both the Los Angeles Times Prize for Fiction and the Arthur C. Clarke Award for science fiction. Her latest work, The Tent, a collection of mini-fictions, was published in 2006. UPCOMING SESSIONS: March 16—Will Power
