Contemplative Citizenship goes into a summer mode on Wednesday evenings starting in July and running through August 13th. Sessions will be held on the second floor of the library at Lancaster Theological Seminary, located at 555 West James Street, Lancaster, PA 17603. We will discuss art, history, and church and state politics by reflecting on T.S.
