The Intergenerational Council, the Restorative Justice Council, and the Affordable Housing Committee invite the entire community of Saint Mark’s to participate in a book study this winter to help us better understand issues of housing insecurity and houselessness. We’ve chosen two books by Matthew Desmond, Evicted from 2016 and Poverty, by America, published in 2023.
Thanks to a grant from the Episcopal Periodical Society, there are copies of both books available for anyone in the cathedral community for free. Books will be available to pick up on Sundays in the nave and in the church office during the week.
Also available through the same grant is I See You, a wordless picture book published by the American Psychological Association intended to open a door for kids and parents to begin a conversation about homelessness. I See You is available for families with children and comes with resources for parents, educators, and neighbors.
Book groups (in person and online) to discuss Evicted will be held in January. Groups will discuss Poverty, by America in February. Curious to learn more about the subject and the author? Check out this podcast interview with author Matthew Desmond.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have lived experience of housing insecurity and are interested in reading Evicted in the safe space of an affinity group, please reach out to co-facilitators Deborah Anderson (waterlily3in1@gmail.com), Canon Wendy Claire Barrie (wbarrie@saintmarks.org), or one of the clergy.
