History of the Nativity Scene
Friday, December 7, 2018 4 PM Christian Science Reading Room & Bookstore 440 Main Street Norway, ME 04268 The tradition of Nativity scenes is centuries old and practiced in many countries. The scenes are often passed down through families -- carefully packed away to be brought out for Christmas. A short talk with slides by the Reading Room's own Sara Barnacle, M.A. Bible Studies will explore surprising similarities and differences around the world. Come enjoy this free, nondenominational talk that will last about 15 minutes. (Sara is happy to be around to answer questions and show slides more than once. ) The Reading Room will be open until 7 p.m. along with other Main Street, Norway stores. Light Refreshments. This is in conjunction with Norway's one-day promotion of the holiday shopping season. The Reading Room wished to offer an open house attraction that would tend to illuminate the universal, spiritual meaning of Christmas. You are welcome.

Our church hosts one or two talks each year for the public.
2018 Talk by John Tyler:
John Tyler, CSB, spoke on "Conflict Resolution: A Spiritual Approach." John "fought in the trenches" for civil rights in many places in the world. He taught us how to love our enemies -- actually to stop making them enemies and solve the conflicts. We cannot love to hate!
