Pax-salon Mailing List: 1/4/05 Conversational Salon

[patty guerrero (pattypax]

HI, The Conversational SAlon, Tuesday, Jan. 4, will be the beginning of
a series of salons on the essay by Martin Luther King called The World 
House.  It is the last chapter of the last book he wrote called Where 
Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community, published in 1967.  I will have 
copies of this essay available which i ordered from Fellowship of 
Reconciliation for $.50 each.  Or it can be found on the internet.  We 
will read and study once a month for , well, we don't know.  The 
essence of this essay describes the enormous challenges facing humanity 
and how we must face them.  This is the 40th anniversary of Dr. King's 
World House vision.  He suggests that we have inherited a large house 
in which we must learn to live together in peace--black, white, 
Easterner, Westerner, Gentile, Jew, Muslim, Hindu-a family separated in 
ideas, culture and interest.  The 3 great problems facing humanity are: 
racism, poverty/materialism and war.
Conversations about these things can lead to better understanding.
Mad Hatter's Tea House is at 943 W 7th, St Paul.  Time is 6:30 to 
8:30PM  phone 651-227-3228 or 651-227-2511 Tea and treats will be 
served and a small donation is appreciated.

thanks, patty
