TUESDAY,  November 11, 2008 - Dialogue Group    

The First Presbyterian Dialogue Group will continue its discussion on the topic "The Marketing (or exploitation) of Race in business" This challenging topic has generated wide differences from various points of view and has given rise to a discussion on affirmative action and some moral challenges about profits and the 'bottom line' in business. These sessions begin at 6:30 pm on Tuesdays. The next session is on Tuesday, November 11. Enter the church from First Avenue across from the CB&T parking garage.

Notes from these Dialogue Groups can be found on the One Columbus website: www.onecolumbus.org  under "Dialogue Groups" as well as articles, selected readings and contributions from participants.
