The Quaker Book Group meets monthly, via Zoom, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., on the second Saturday of the month. On Saturday, November 12, we will discuss Judith Schwartz’s The Reindeer Chronicles: And Other Inspiring Stories of Working with Nature to Heal the Earth. It is a 2020 book by a journalist who has traveled the globe in search of some of the newest (and oldest) ways to address climate change by working together and following nature's lead. She suggests solutions to seemingly intractable problems can come from the unlikeliest of places, and restoring local water, carbon, nutrient, and energy cycles can help stabilize the global climate. Newcomers are always welcome (even if you have not read the book!). We read a mix of books by Quakers, books about Quakerism, and books that speak to Quaker values and concerns. The group is invited to share announcements, summaries, and thoughts about the readings through an online mailing list.
