The Princeton Symposium
2012 - 2013 Schedule
The Princeton Symposium began almost eighty years ago as a book discussion group for members of the Seminary, the University, and community. This tradition has been continued by area clergy and interested individuals, and is open to all. Titles are chosen by the group each spring for the year ahead. If authors are local, they are invited to come and speak. Each program features dinner, followed by roundtable conversation. Participants are responsible for getting their own book and preparing for each discussion. The community is welcome to this time of fellowship and discussion.
