Better World Book Club - online

Our 'Better World Book Club' meets monthly. The books will be chosen to cover a range of social issues we might do well to be more informed about, and stories of diverse lived experience, interleaved with books on spiritual and ethical matters, to help us live well in hard times. We will aim to choose titles that are available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats, and we will buy a few copies for the church library (let us know if you'd like to borrow one). RSVP or email Jane: jane@kensington-unitarians.org.uk. 

In October we are reading 'Africa is Not a Country' by Dipo Faloyin:  'Africa Is Not a Country is a kaleidoscopic portrait of modern Africa that pushes back against harmful stereotypes to tell a more comprehensive story. You already know these stereotypes. So often Africa is depicted simplistically as an arid red landscape of famines and safaris, uniquely plagued by poverty and strife. In this funny and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, creating a fresh and multifaceted view of this vast continent. By turns intimate and political, Africa Is Not a Country brings the story of the continent towards reality, celebrating the energy and fabric of its different cultures and communities in a way that has never been done before.’
