TMS Reading Group Information
The Thomas Merton Society Reading Group - join us - all are welcome!
The first session of the online Thomas Merton Society Reading Group was on 16 June 2022.
We come together on the third Thursday evening of alternate months for about 1 hour.
Over the past 12 months we have shared our thoughts on the following writings by Thomas Merton:
Correspondence between Thomas Merton & Rosemary Radford Ruether
‘The Wild Places’
‘Rain and the Rhinoceros’ in Raids on the Unspeakable
Journal entries from October 1964
Merton’s letters of 1967 & 1968 to Suzanne Butorovich, a sixteen year-old high-school student
‘Then & Now: Thomas Merton and Cambridge’ by Susanne Jennings,
We will all come together again for our next Zoom meeting on Thursday 15 May, 2025 at 7pm BST (6pm GMT) when we will be looking at Merton’s essay ‘Christian Culture needs Oriental Wisdom’ in The Thomas Merton Reader. It is a shortened version of ‘Love and Tao’ in Mystics and Zen Masters.
If you would like to join the bi-monthly reading group please email tmsreadinggroup@thomasmertonsociety.org.uk
Those who sign up are provided with digital copies of the texts for discussion, on the basis that they are for study and personal use only.
