The other night, I had the pleasure of speaking at the lecture series sponsored by the Forum, a group that brings together young adults, mostly Catholic, who share an interest in the arts, literature, and delicious homemade shortbread (though you're not required to eat the shortbread). The people at the gatherings tend to be on the erudite side and yet eminently approachable;. It's like a young-adult group for people who would normally run the other way from young-adult groups (those that, as my pastor puts it, are really neither young nor adult). If you're in the New York City area, I recommend signing up at their Web site (which currently bears a photo of me).
