FAITH & ARTS MINISTRY
Spring Art Show
The summer 2008 visual art show, "American Summer," is now hanging in the first floor gallery at Centenary. The art, created by Centenary members and their family members, depicts the joys of summer in a variety of ways. "American Summer" is sponsored by the Faith and Arts Ministry and is on display through mid-August.
The recently restored oil painting "Cathedral Doors" by Grace Freund is now on display by Room 120 (1st floor). This painting is part of the Tucker Kimball Collection.
Great Books
Starting next fall, the Centenary Great Books discussion group will start the Fourth Series of its Adult Great Books Program. Great Books discussion groups are a forum for thoughtful adults to read and discuss significant works of fiction, philosophy, political science, poetry, and drama. Discussions are lively, engaging, friendly, sometimes contentious, probing, enlightening—and a good deal of fun. This coming year's list of readings includes works by Shakespeare, Schopenhauer, Euripedes, Weber, Molière, Gibbon, Mill, Shaw, St. Augustine, Plato, Montaigne, Diderot and Gogol. The Series will also cover "The Book of Job" and The Federalist Papers.
