Roundtable
Wednesdays, beginning January 6th, 8 sessions
"Table conversations" is an opportunity for Hamilton House friends to come together for an hour-long discussion of local, national, and
international topics. The emphasis is on the current state of affairs in an increasing changing American landscape. Discussions we encourage
different points of view and opinions of today's newsworthy topics. This is an opportunity to discuss "what is on our minds", as we grapple
with momentous cultural and political change.
The moderator is Michael Mageau. Michael has a Master of Divinity from Yale University and is currently with the United Church of Christ as an
urban minister.
Fee: $5 for materials
