For November, the month of the dead, we have something special planned. We will meet, as usual, on the 3rd Sunday of the month, Sunday, November 16, 2025 at Ivy Hall at 6:00 PM. For our reading, we have a special packet containing a symposium of essays held in the Daily News in 1928, answering the question, "Where are the Dead?" Chesterton and Belloc are contributors, along with some lesser known folks, and one even arguably better known, at least to most - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Adding to the fun, George Bernard Shaw "butts in" with a letter to the editor, which kicks off an exchange of letters between him and GKC. Finally, three bonuses: interspersed throughout the packet, authentic advertisements from the Daily News at the time, to help give the feel of the thing; an extra essay from GKC in the Illustrated London News looking back on the symposium; and an extra packet to look at if you want to see all the essays from the correspondance on their original newspaper pages. This'll be a fun one. Invite a friend! RSVP below the jump...
