Keep your church from discouragement in the day of small things, O God, in the knowledge that when you have begun a good work, you will bring it to a fruitful conclusion, just as you did for your servant Anskar; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

6:15 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

Christians Readings Greeks, a series of seminars on first Mondays, begins tonight with the following selections from Homer’s Iliad: Books 1, 6, 9, 16, 18 (to line 371 only), 22, and 24. Although jumpy, these selections give the basic story of Achilles and his anger. Participants may read any translation. The discussion is in Andrew Hall from 6:15 to 7:45pm.

This series follows the standard format of Good Books & Good Talk, in which particpants are expected to read the selections in advance so that they are prepared to discuss their impressions with the group.
