Reasons To Be Cheerful Discussion Series
Tuesdays, July & August @ 11:30AM                              
                                       
Everywhere we look, the message is the same: that we are hopelessly divided. That all over the world our rifts are so entrenched, they can never be reconciled. But that's only half the story. In fact, there is abundant evidence that we human beings have far greater ability and desire to overcome our divisions than we realize. Using articles from Reason's To Be Cheerful's project, We Are Not Divided, we will gather together to discuss and celebrate these uplifting stories.  Meet in the Jessica Swift Community Room.
