Newman Series on the Parochial and Plain Sermons

Like last year, the seminars on the sermons of John Henry Newman will take place on Zoom at the indicated times and dates. The sermon will be read at the meeting; no need to prepare beforehand. Depending on the moderator, the sermon will be either interspersed with comments or read straight through with discussion to follow. The sessions will be between an hour and a half to two hours. We are offering six seminars this year, to keep us well engaged until next October. Hope to see you there!
