Have you heard about the USCCA's Book Circle Discussions? Through Zoom meetings on select scheduled Saturdays, we learn together about history, Chinese culture, theology, philosophy, and the life of the Church in China.
This semester, we are reading John C. H. Wu's Chinese Humanism and Christian Spirituality. If you have not done so yet, we invite you to order your copy from Angelico Books today. With discount code wu15, you are eligible for a 15% discount.
Our next meeting will be held via Zoom on February 15 at 9AM ET / 8AM CT / 7AM MT / 6AM CT / 10pm Chinese Standard Time. Please read the following message from Book Circle facilitator Dr. Kathy Stout:
Our January discussion ran out of time to discuss all the interesting topics on Mencius. For the Feb meeting, we will begin by revisiting Mencius on pages 15-35 and then move onto the next chapter on pages 39-50, "The Spirit of Joy in Chinese Sages." You are invited to consider the following questions as you read:
1) What are your thoughts on Mencius's understanding of virtue, culture, and political philosophy?
2) Why is "joy" such an important category in Wu's presentation of the sages?
3) What new aspects of the sages have you learned from Wu's presentation?
The USCCA is grateful to Dr. Stout, Mary Sluka, and Fr. Hugh O'Donnell for their ongoing work as Book Circle organizers. Future Book Circle Discussions are planned for March 15, April 26, and May 24; please sign up for Book Circle updates to ensure that you receive the Zoom link! We hope to see you there.
