Leigh Gibson, Oberlin College
6 December, 2001
THE SECOND MEETING OF 2001-02 will be held on Thursday, December 6th, from 7-9pm in the Lounge on the second floor of Logan Hall at the University of Pennsylvania.
Persons wishing to dine with other participants prior to the meeting should meet at 6 pm at Logan Hall (southeast of Locust Walk and 36th Street Walk) or go directly to the Food Court in the basement of Houston Hall (just east of Logan, along Spruce Street), where a variety of food choices is available at reasonable prices.
Suggested Readings:
In preparation, we are asked to read the Martyrdom of Pionios and the Martyrdom of Polycarp. The Musurillo translation of the former is recommended and is available on the web (in Darrell Doughty's website). Lightfoot's translation of the Martyrdom of Polycarp is available on the web.
