Our October meeting, on Wednesday 23rd, 7.30 pm at Chelsworth, was on the Secular topic of "War". John Gamlin gave us a very good account of causes, events and results of war , and we had a good discussion, gloomily deciding that man appears to be hardwired to be warlike.
In November we had an experimental day time meeting on 27th at 2.0pm , Lower Holbrook , looking at. two poems. "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold and "1 September 1939" by W H Auden. Helena Woddis
read us the poems and looked at the subjects, treatments, rhythms and meanings,overt and hidden. We had a good discussion and cups of tea. We decided it was a good time to meet and plan to repeat the exercise.
Our December meeting will be at the Sudbury Institute, 7.30 pm on Wednesday 18th December. This is our Christmas get together, but will not be a shared meal, we hope to share some seasonal snacks and our topic is:-"Where, what is the future for the Sea of Faith? Or are we at it/ is this it?"
I am hoping that the imminence of Christmas will encourage optimistic discussion and conclusions !
