Social Justice Book Club
Read. Reflect. Reimagine.
​
The Wedgewood Social Justice Book Club is a welcoming and inclusive space where readers come together to explore books that challenge, inspire, and connect us more deeply to the work of justice and compassion.
Through biweekly discussions on Zoom, we examine stories and ideas that shed light on issues of faith, identity, activism, and equity. Each meeting invites honest reflection, open dialogue, and thoughtful engagement in an environment where every voice matters.
​
Our goal is to build understanding, empathy, and courage through conversation. Whether you are a lifelong reader, new to the study of social justice, or simply seeking meaningful community, you are welcome here.
Selections include memoirs, theology, history, and contemporary social commentary that highlight movements for equality, human rights, and liberation. Past books have explored topics such as racial justice, gender equality, environmental ethics, and the power of storytelling to inspire social change.
Our book club meets throughout the year on Zoom and welcomes both Wedgewood members and non-members. Discussions are facilitated by members and friends of Wedgewood who value curiosity, inclusion, and the pursuit of collective wisdom.
Join the conversation and connect with others who believe that reading can be a form of activism and spiritual growth.
Current Selection: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Next meeting: Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 pm
Reading assignment: Finish the book​​​
This will be our last meeting of the year. We will finish reading Braiding Sweetgrass and make plans for our regathering in January.
​
In Braiding Sweetgrass, botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Robin Wall Kimmerer invites readers to see the natural world as both a teacher and a relative. Blending scientific insight with Indigenous wisdom, Kimmerer explores how plants and animals model generosity, balance, and connection.
Through reflections that move from creation stories to contemporary environmental challenges, she calls us to recognize our reciprocal relationship with the earth and to live in gratitude for its gifts. Part memoir, part ecological meditation, Braiding Sweetgrass is a poetic and transformative reminder that caring for the planet begins with learning to listen.
