General Information:
Purpose: The purpose of the JBS Concord Chapter Book Club is to give participants an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the wisdom of our founder and the philosophy of The John Birch Society. Members of the book club will become more effective in promulgating the cause of Americanism. They will gain a better working knowledge of constitutional originalism, obtain a proper historical perspective, and gain an active working knowledge of The John Birch Society and its goals.
Objective: The goal of the book club is not to supplant the activities of JBS members in the completion of their monthly duties. In fact, the book club’s hope is to augment and draw attention to The John Birch Society’s weekly and monthly activities, since they are born out of the works of Robert Welch. In less than a year, members will have systematically completed the majority of our founder’s published works.
Expectations: Members of the book club should try to keep up with the assignments as they are given. We will attempt to read at a pace that suits our current readers. While some with handicaps may wish to listen to the audio versions of these presentations, this privilege is reserved for those with a true reading disability. Reading books will be the requirement for all able-bodied participants, as reading is the greatest means of gaining permanent knowledge.
Formality: Classes will be informal, and the leader will serve only as a guide and moderator, who uses small prompts that will be given to ensure the class stays focused on the material having been read that week.
Time and Place: Classes will be held Thursday evenings from 6pm to 7pm, via Zoom. Upon registration, you will receive the initial assignment along with a Zoom link. Registrants must obtain the current book (hard copy or PDF) at least one week before class starts in order to read the assigned pages before attending the Zoom meeting. We will not meet on holiday weekends.
