The following quote from William Ellery Channing is profound in that it says clearly WHY we have our Sunday Symposium...now entering the 15th year:
"IT IS CHIEFLY THROUGH BOOKS THAT WE ENJOY INTERCOURSE WITH SUPERIOR MINDS.. IN THE BEST

"William Edelen was chosen, by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, to receive
a STAR on the WALK OF STARS in the downtown area of Palm Springs. The dedication
was on January 15, at noon. The STAR was awarded to him for his contribution to
the city in religious literacy and general education. The police said it was one of the
largest crowds they had seen at a STAR dedication. The STAR is located in the
VINEYARDS area at Baristo and Palm Canyon Drive. That location was chosen by
Edelen." |
