St Nick's Book Group
Our Book Group began in 2006 as the brainchild of a former parishioner, Susan Welsh, since when we've met every couple of months to discuss books, fiction and non-fiction, that have generally had some connection, however tangential, with Christianity.
The current book, which we'll be discussing on 22nd November 2011, is Burying the Bones: Pearl Buck in China by Hilary Spurling.
New members are always welcome. Please email the parish office if you would like more information - office@stnicholaschiswick.org
