Book Study Group Meeting Dates and Information

Posted on by Connor McKinney
Since the March session on Shoshinge went so well (and we didn’t get very far into the text), we have decided to continue on with our Shoshinge discussion for our April 6th Book Study Group meeting.
Looking ahead, the May meeting will be cancelled as Rev. Dr. Haneda will be lecturing at the Betsuin on the first weekend of May.
On Saturday, June 1st we will be discussing “Leaves of my Heart” by Lady Takeko Kujo which is available at the BCA bookstore.

Meetings take place in the Memorial Hall Chapel Feel free to bring a sack lunch and stay afterwards for discussion. This is a free program hosted by the Seattle Betsuin. Feel free to come out and share your thoughts.
