Looking for a great summer read? Join Park Royal Reads!
The Park Royal United Church Affirm Committee is excited to launch the third edition of Park Royal Reads. Here's how it works:
- We vote on a book together
- Read it over the summer at your own pace
- Gather for a potluck and discussion as summer comes to a close
Interested? Send Steve an email to let him know which book you'd like us to read! Here are the three options we have to choose from this time around:
Option 1: The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan
A powerful true story of friendship between a Palestinian man and an Israeli woman whose families are connected through the same home. Through their relationship, the complex history of the Middle East is explored at a deeply human level, offering a message of hope, understanding, and reconciliation.
Option 2: Unbelievable by John Shelby Spong
Bishop and theologian John Shelby Spong argues that Christianity must evolve to remain relevant in the modern world. Challenging traditional doctrines, he invites readers to rethink faith, God, and the church for the twenty-first century.
Option 3: The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson
A compelling work of climate fiction imagining how humanity responds to the climate crisis in the decades ahead. Both sobering and hopeful, it offers a thought-provoking vision of a future that feels remarkably close.
